Climate Breakfast 22: Events as the engine of the climate transition

Events are a growing billion-dollar industry and a key component of the economy and profile of many cities. At the same time, they are an increasingly important tool for community development. The joy and excitement of an event is something special. There is a strength and power to influence and change. This is why events have a great potential to contribute to, push and accelerate the climate transition.

During Climate Breakfast 22, we explored how the industry is transitioning but also how this transition can drive behavioral change and citizen engagement. Our guests were Joppe Pihlgren from Svensk Live and the Greentopia project, Johanna Gadd, sustainability manager at GotEvent and Filip Eklund, sustainability developer at Göteborg & Co.
