Avesta - an enabler for the climate transition in Dalarna.
Avesta hooks arms with Borlänge.
Avesta municipality is mobilizing as a twin city to Borlänge, which means that the cities together can strengthen the climate transition in the county. There is a real need for a regional Climate City Contract to mobilize and support the entire county business in the climate transition, which is driven by the cities linking arms.
With Borlänge as a model and Avesta as a twin city, the cities are working to strengthen Dalarna's ambitions and accelerate the implementation of the energy and climate transition. These are set out in the Dalarna Strategy 2030 and the Dalarna Energy and Climate Strategy.
In the city's latest update, they talk about the work, the transition arena, the project portfolio and much more.

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.
