Funding announced approximately 25 million SEK.
The call for Climate Neutral Cities 2030 welcomes project proposals that focus on cities that want to accelerate the transition to become viable and climate neutral already in 2030. Project consortia will focus on the transition process and use digitalisation and citizen engagement as enablers.
The call is aimed at consortia led by cities that are working long-term and strategically to achieve climate neutrality [1].
A minimum of three partners must support each application. These can be e.g. companies, universities, colleges, public actors, non-profit organizations and trade associations. The main applicant must be a city/municipality and at least one partner must be a university, college or research institute.
