Our mission
Our overall aim is to speed up the climate transition through exchanging experiences, influencing national policy making, and highlighting successful actions and synergies to inspire towns and regions in Sweden to reach further.
We do this by:
- Support our members and other cities through training programs, guides, and networking events
- Bringing together members for networking meetings 2 times/year
- Gathering our members’ expertise and experiences to highlight gaps in national climate policy and ideas for improvement
- Engaging in active dialogue with the national level, for example government agencies, Fossil Free Sweden, the Swedish EPA and the Swedish Climate Policy Council
- Communicating inspiring examples of effective local climate action with positive synergies, and describing success factors and top tips to succeed
- Run and participate in various projects to dive deeper into areas with significant climate challenges
Since 2001, we have grown to over 50 members, both municipalities and regions, spanning from Luleå in the north to Malmö in the south of Sweden. Our board consists of politicians from our member organizations, representing different parts of the country, small and large municipalities, and various political parties.
