he City of Reykjavík has been ambitious in climate issues since the first Climate Policy was published in 2009. Subsequently, the City sought to be a member of the Covenant of Mayors in 2011, and in 2016 a policy was set to become carbon neutral by 2040. Two detailed Action Plans have since been published. It was in continuation of this ambition that it was decided to participate in applying to be one of the 112 cities in the European Co-operation for carbon neutral and smart cities in 2030.
By this, the City of Reykjavík speeding up the goal by a decade, and it is clear that the goal can only be achieved with the participation of several parties. A lot has happened since the first Climate Policy was established. The highlights of the journey have been focusing not only on GHG emissions but on co-benefits of climate actions. People become healthier as the city becomes denser, has more infrastructure for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. At the same time, this makes the city more welcoming for existing and new businesses and tourists, which strengthens the economy and increases the use of local renewable energy by supporting charging stations for cars and electric bikes
