In Nacka, climate action is being stepped up - both now and for the future - by working in several areas, from mobility and urban planning to organization and procurement.
New and ambitious climate and environmental goals are being developed in Nacka's new climate and environmental program and the municipality is working on initiatives in several areas. Among other things, they have invited to a land allocation competition focusing on innovative solutions for minimized climate impact throughout the life cycle, free lending at libraries of different types of meters for energy and climate advice, and offering a recycling market for private individuals. There are thus several initiatives underway in Nacka municipality for climate change adaptation, of varying scope and scale, and there is active follow-up to ensure that the right things are being done and done right.
The transition work in Nacka includes, among other things, initiatives in urban planning and master plans, a new green and blue structure program, a bicycle strategy, and land allocation with a climate profile.
New and ambitious climate and environmental goals in the municipality's climate and environmental program are also a major focus, where the proposed new goal is that Nacka municipality should be climate positive and circular by 2040. Adoption of the municipality's climate and environmental program means that the work of the transition arenas will have a clearer direction. In the implementation of the program, more transition arenas will be identified, transformed and created, to get the best effect in the work both here and now and over time.
To further boost sustainability efforts, the municipality has also launched a land allocation competition, focusing on innovative solutions to minimize climate impact throughout the life cycle. It has also initiated a recycling market for private individuals to promote increased reuse and recycling of waste, and launched an Energy Box - a package of different types of meters that can be borrowed free of charge by private individuals at libraries for energy and climate advice.
Several initiatives are underway in Nacka municipality for climate change adaptation, of varying scope and scale. In order to streamline the work, and work more goal-oriented, the follow-up of climate and environmental goals is important.
In the city's latest update, they talk about the work, the transition arena, the project portfolio and much more.

The municipality of Nacka is experiencing urban development, with the construction of new housing and the exploitation of unspoiled land. New construction involves the exploitation of land with high natural values. To ensure that protected species in the swamp forest are not adversely affected, Nacka is taking several protective measures that also create more involvement.
Nacka highlights additional actions that they believe may 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.
