Lomma has been working strategically for a long time and is now increasing the pace further.
Lomma hooks arms with Lund.
Lomma has worked strategically on climate action since 2015 and adopted two energy and climate plans with high ambitions. The territorial greenhouse gas emissions in the municipality will decrease at a faster pace than at regional and national level, with over 70% reduction by 2025 compared to 1990. Since 2016, the municipality has used only origin-labeled fossil fuel-free electricity, and since 2018, district heating has also been fossil fuel-free.
In addition, the municipality has formed a climate panel to increase citizen influence and formed an expert council inspired by Lund's Climate Policy Council. In September 2023, the Municipal Board decided to develop a new energy and climate plan for 2026-2030. In connection with the adoption, Lomma will be ready to sign Climate City Contract for 2030.
As neighboring municipalities, co-owners of the municipal energy company Kraftringen, and with many common challenges and priorities, Lomma works together with Lund to help strengthen climate cooperation. For example, commuters, especially from Lomma to Lund, and wetlands for carbon sequestration are something that connects the municipalities.
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.
