Viable Cities is a strategic innovation program working towards the mission of Climate Neutral Cities 2030 with a good life for all within the boundaries of the planet.
Within Spy and apply we highlight local actions that trigger action contributing to the mission: climate neutral cities by 2030 - with a good life for all within the planetary boundaries. Spy and apply to accelerate the local transition journey in all cities and communities.
System demonstrators address structural challenges within a defined system and mobilize actors across the societal system to accelerate, scale and amplify the transition to climate-neutral cities and help create the 'new normal'.
There is a lot of work going on in Sweden and around the planet to tackle the climate crisis and transition to a sustainable world. We have put together a short introduction to what Viable Cities is doing and how we are mobilizing together to achieve the mission of climate neutral cities.
Transitioning to climate-neutral and sustainable cities can save billions and improve citizens' quality of life. The Climate Investment Plan is a five-step methodology and tool that facilitates the transition, from the current situation to actions and who pays.
Local Climate City Contract between business and municipalities are a tool to create a common arena for the climate transition in many 2030 cities. In a new report, we have taken a closer look at what the local variants look like, and how they can be developed.
How companies and municipalities work together to support business and contribute to the climate transition - 100 examples. A new report presents different types of good examples of climate competitiveness from across Sweden.
Resilient and sustainable food systems are an important part of achieving climate-neutral and climate-adapted cities and communities. How can we move from research to transition? How do we collaborate to build knowledge and understanding of the system together, and create a common vision? And how can cities contribute to food production?

48 Swedish cities are working together in Viable Cities' Climate Neutral Cities 2030 initiative. The map here gives a quick overview of all the cities and at each map pin you will find a link to the city's page, where you can read more about their work, current events and spy and apply their good examples.
Calls for proposals are tools that research funders use to distribute their funds among stakeholders. Here you can see some current calls, but you can also explore more!
Viable Cities is a strategic innovation program with the mission Climate Neutral Cities 2030 with a good life for all within the planetary boundaries. In the Climate Neutral Cities 2030 initiative - and with the tool Climate City Contract 2030 - the program is working with 48 cities and six government agencies to accelerate the climate transition. The mission-driven work of Viable Cities is closely aligned with the European mobilization around "Mission Climate Neutral and Smart Cities 2030". Viable Cities is a strategic innovation program in a joint initiative by Vinnova, the Swedish Energy Agency and Formas. The program is coordinated by KTH and runs until 2030.
