Based on the transition to fossil-free freight transport, Eskilstuna and Helsingborg have explored how municipalities' governance can be improved to benefit the climate transition.
The idea of energy communities is that more than the traditional players should be able to participate in the energy market. What is the role of municipalities in this, can and should they contribute? A number of actors in Eskilstuna have explored this.
City as a Platform is an innovation initiative that brings together 18 municipalities to explore, test, implement and collaborate on common IoT platforms to support societal benefits in cities. The initiative will also ensure national anchoring and propose a national management model of a minimum framework for data platforms, including relevant standards.
Eskilstuna is working with businesses, universities and civil society to find climate-smart solutions. They have the world's first recycling gallery, a municipal vehicle fleet with a high proportion of fossil-free vehicles, energy communities, energy storage that is increasing, building recycling, several initiatives on sustainable consumption, local climate commitments, climate leadership training for business leaders and much much more. You can simply say that Eskilstuna is making a climate revolution!
