Zde najdete další informace o klimatické neutralitě, o tom, co to znamená pro vás a vaše město, a také informace o tom, jak vám k tomuto cíli pomáhá iniciativa NetZeroCities!
Vzdělávací centrum NetZeroCities nabízí vzdělávací programy specifické pro EU v místních jazycích a podporuje veřejné správce, výzkumné pracovníky, občanské organizace, tvůrce politik, konzultanty a tvůrce změn.
Nabízí systémové, spolupracující a peer-to-peer přístupy spolu s praktickými nástroji a případy založenými na důkazech, které podporují přechod k městské klimatické neutralitě a pomáhají zvládat složité systémové změny.
Připojte se ke skupině a zkoumejte svůj klimatický přechod cíleným způsobem.

Uppsala is one of Sweden’s fastest-growing cities, located just north of Stockholm and known for its strong academic tradition, vibrant population and close connection to nature. The city has a cold climate with long winters and mild summers, but like many northern cities, it is already experiencing the effects of climate change through rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns and increased pressure on infrastructure and ecosystems.
In Uppsala, climate action is closely tied to growth. As the city expands, the challenge is not only to reduce emissions, but to do so while building new neighbourhoods, transport systems and services. This has pushed Uppsala to focus on forward-looking planning, where climate neutrality is integrated into how the city develops, rather than added afterwards.
The city has set ambitious targets to become climate positive and has prioritised key areas such as sustainable mobility, energy-efficient buildings and fossil-free energy systems. Urban development plays a central role, with new districts designed to minimise emissions and support low-carbon lifestyles. At the same time, Uppsala is working to strengthen climate adaptation through green infrastructure, water management and nature-based solutions.
What stands out in Uppsala is its long-term mindset. The city combines strong political commitment with collaboration across public actors, businesses, academia and residents. By linking climate goals with urban growth and innovation, Uppsala is positioning itself as a city where expansion and sustainability go hand in hand — and where climate action is built into the future from the start.
Although widely regarded as one of Europe’s most sustainable mid-sized cities, Uppsala is not on track to meet its long-term climate goals. In fact, the pace of Uppsala’s climate transition will need to increase at least fivefold to reach net neutrality by 2030 and get in line with a 1.5-degree pathway.
