The focus this year is the development and the cascading of Klimatkontrakt 2030 – the Swedish climate city contract. We are honoured by the presence of many key actors in the climate transition in cities, who will share their experiences and aspirations for the next steps towards the mission in Sweden and Europe. We are proud to present Matthew Baldwin as the keynote speaker. He is the deputy general director, European Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport, as well as head of the EU Mission Climate neutral cities 2030 – by and for citizens.
The first Swedish contracts were signed by nine city mayors and the director generals from four government agencies last year and it is already cascading, on a local level as well as on a European level. Today, one year later, Viable Cities is working together with 23 Swedish cities and five government agencies to accelerate the climate transition. On Dec 8 2021, Swedish cities and Swedish government agencies will sign a revised and more ambitious Klimatkontrakt 2030. The event will be followed by an informal reception 15.00–16.00.
We are looking forward to seeing you at Europahuset on European Viable Cities Day 2021.
