Alvesta hooks arms with Växjö.
Alvesta's vision is to be the center of southern Sweden, integrating local living with global opportunities. The vision describes the ambition to develop Alvesta in a sustainable and equal way and to create an attractive living environment and everyday life for all residents. Now Alvesta, together with Växjö, wants to push the regional climate transition even further. In this initiative, the municipality will explore more ways for us to drive the climate transition, not least through a transition arena with several actors from all parts of society. Their input will help us to develop a climate roadmap and a climate investment plan of activities that need to be done.
The fact that Alvesta municipality can act as a twin municipality within Viable Cities will strengthen the collaboration that already exists between Alvesta and Växjö today. The geographical proximity and the fact that there are many rural areas in the municipalities means that several challenges are the same. The collaboration will provide more power and thus increase the possibility of scaling up and increasing the climate transition.
In the city's latest update, they talk about the work, the transition arena, the project portfolio and much more.

The city is currently working on collecting good examples of how they mobilize and work for the climate transition. They will be here soon!
Climate City Contract 2030 is an effort to manage the climate transition that we need to implement in a short time to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees. It is an agreement between municipalities, government agencies and Viable Cities, in which all parties undertake to make a concrete contribution to accelerating the climate transition. The letter of intent is a preparation for signing the contract next year.
To achieve deep change, we need to move from fragmented projects to an ecosystem of efforts that all pull in the same direction. Cities are doing this together with Viable Cities, funders government agencies and other partners, in different constellations and with different objectives. It is about moving beyond dealing with symptoms and instead focusing on underlying problems in our social structure. Here you will find the initiatives and studies within the city that have been granted funding under Viable Cities.
Alvesta's vision is to be the center of southern Sweden, integrating local living with global opportunities. Alvesta is one of 48 Swedish municipalities joining forces to tackle the climate crisis and join forces in the next phase for climate-neutral and sustainable cities....
