Sandviken is working, together with Gävle, for new opportunities to mobilize the local business community.
Sandviken hooks arms with Gävle.
Sandviken is mobilizing for climate neutrality by 2030. Joining Viable Cities means that the municipality, like its pilot city Gävle, can receive support in implementing its ambitions. Together with Gävle, Sandviken wants to develop a portfolio for industry within the climate agreement.
Within Sandbacka Science Park, which is part of Sandviken municipality and a regional player working with green transition, digital innovation and business development, a lot of expertise has been built up, not least within Gävle Climate Agreement. By working together, Sandviken and Gävle create new opportunities to reach out to the joint business community and work on challenges that need to be solved across the municipal boundaries.
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.
