Carbon sequestration and climate-neutral agriculture are in focus for Höganäs.
Höganäs hooks arms with Helsingborg.
Höganäs is located in the northwest corner of Skåne, between Öresund and Helsingborg. Höganäs has targets for reducing climate impact in its environmental program, one of the measures aims to increase carbon storage in agricultural land. Emissions from agriculture account for six percent in Höganäs, and the municipality will focus on climate-neutral agriculture. They will do this by reaching out to farmers and business actors through a local transition arena, supported by the municipality's sustainability network.
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.
