Gävle embarked on an ambitious journey with our first environmental strategic programme in 2013 and managed to drastically reduce emissions during the years to come. In 2020 Gävle decided to become climate neutral in 2035 including both territorial and consumption-based emissions in our second Environmental Strategic Programme.

 

To be able to achieve such a bald goal Gävle developed a climate action plan that was endorsed in 2021. With these decisions at hand, we understood that we would need to collaborate with others to be able to reach our goals. We came across the Swedish initiative Viable Cities and decided to apply and was one of the 14 lucky cities to join their second round. Viable Cites made it possible for us to scale up climate action, with external financing, knowledge, methodology and inspiration.

 

Being part of Viable cities motivated us to apply for the EU Cities mission. Hereby we would be able to share experience with cities outside the Swedish context. It is easy to get stuck in the policy context of your own country which doesn't make you see possibilities beyond that. The EU context also involves us getting in touch with new expertise and funding that can help us towards the goal
