Malmö, like other cities around the world, faces one of the greatest challenges – and opportunities – of our time. Malmö aims to be a climate-neutral city by 2030 and is one of the European Commission's selected pilot cities to lead the way in the transition. By 2030, Malmö City Council will also achieve net zero emissions, and Malmö residents will together have halved their consumption-based emissions.
Being a pioneer means that other cities in Sweden and Europe look to Malmö for inspiration from the solutions developed here. But it is also a reminder of our responsibility. By daring to think in new ways, collaborating across borders, and sticking to our goals, especially in times of uncertainty, we want to show the way for other cities.
In the city's latest update, they talk about the work, the transition arena, the project portfolio and much more.

Malmö highlights three initiatives that they believe could be of particular interest to other municipalities to spy and apply. Contact the process leader to spy and apply.
Climate City Contract 2030 is a collective effort to achieve 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 where all parties undertake to make a concrete contribution to increasing the pace of climate change.
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.
Local Power aims to drive climate change adaptation together with e.g. property owners, associations and other stakeholders in the city of Malmö.

The City of Malmö was awarded the EU Mission Label in March 2024 for its efforts to accelerate the transition to a climate-neutral and sustainable city.
Malmö is part of the NetZeroCities 112 Mission Cities, selected since 2022 to pioneer the EU Cities Mission.
Since 2022, Malmö is part of the first cohort of pilot cities from twenty-one EU Member States and Horizon 2020 associated countries, selected to launch unprecedented climate action, through the NetZeroCities Pilot Cities program.
