In Falköping, efforts are being made to mobilize at several levels.
Falköping hooks arms with Gothenburg.
Falköping is a small town with high ambitions and good momentum in bringing the whole community on the transition journey. A key to Falköping's success will be to work in a mobilizing way with the municipality's administrations and companies as well as with actors across the Falköping community. As the twin of Gothenburg, Falköping leads by example of how a smaller municipality takes on the mission, thus making it easier for Gothenburg to mobilize other smaller municipalities in our surroundings.
A particular focus for Falköping together with Gothenburg will be to involve the other municipalities in the Gothenburg and Västra Götaland regions. With this approach, Gothenburg, Falköping and the regions simultaneously broaden the meaning of local. The scaling up itself will contribute to an increased pace of climate transition in Gothenburg and at the same time also in Falköping and the other municipalities in the sub-region and the region.
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.
Falköping is joining forces to mobilize on several levels. Falköping is one of 48 municipalities in Sweden that are joining forces to meet the climate crisis and are joining forces in the next phase for climate-neutral and sustainable cities. Falköping hooks arms with Gothenburg....
