Climate Breakfast 44 – Indicators of Systemic Change in Cities’ Climate Transition

How can we make it clear that we are on the right track and at the same time initiate processes that drive real systemic change? How do we make increased climate resilience visible?

At this climate breakfast, we delve into the main lessons learned from the project Co-creating indicators for transformative change in climate transition of cities, led by Harald Rohracher and Emily Wise in close collaboration with the City of Stockholm and the Municipality of Linköping.

Harald begins with a brief description of the work carried out so far and explains how both cities are developing and testing new ways to monitor transformative change processes in selected transition areas. Stockholm and Linköping share their experiences, lessons learned, and possible next steps based on their work.

Key questions included:

  • How can we highlight early progress and processes of change in our day-to-day planning and decision-making?
  • How can indicators become a driver for a deep and faster climate transition?

The Climate Breakfast featured:

  • Harald Rohracher, Professor of Technology and Social Change at Linköping University
  • Sandra Viktor, Process Manager Climate Neutral Linköping 
  • Charlotta Porsö Climate Specialist, Environmental Administration, City of Stockholm

The conversation was led by Viable Cities Deputy Program Manager Åsa Minoz.
