Most important updates regarding Viable Cities. ‌ As of 1 October 2021, Viable Cities’ effort regarding climate-neutral cities by 2030 has increased from 9 to 23 cities. Between them, the involved municipalities contain 40% of the Swedish population. During the year, extensive work has been done to further develop Climate City Contract 2030 and the transition efforts of the cities. This has taken place in three areas: citizen engagement, digitalisation and digital tools, and climate investment plans. The involved cities and government agencies and a long line of stakeholders from the business community, academia, the public sector and civil society have been involved in all three development areas. In each of the areas, this work has resulted in publications3 containing recommendations for continued work on the part of both the cities and government agencies and the Viable Cities programme. In October 2021, the EU launched five missions4 as a new and innovative approach to working together to improve the lives of people in Europe and beyond, including 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030. This mission is in line with Sweden’s work to implement Climate City Contract 2030 as an underpinning process. In conjunction with the launch, the European Commission published a plan for the implementation of the 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities mission, including a platform for implementation called NetZeroCities to which Viable Cities is a party, including responsibility for contributing to the development of a climate contract at EU level. In November, the open innovation competition Climate Smart City Challenge was launched in collaboration with UN-Habitat and a range of government agencies and other stakeholders.

Most important updates regarding Viable Cities. During 2022, far-reaching efforts have been made to lay a good foundation for all 23 signatory cities to deepen their work on the Cities Mission, as 14 cities were added in October 2021. The platform for faster learning has been evolved through the Viable Cities Transition Lab Forum, City Labs, Climate Breakfasts and a range of other formats for meetings between cities, government agencies and other actors. The collaboration with the signatory government agencies has been enhanced so as to further hone the Climate City Contract 2030 process. Viable Cities has also pro- vided documentation for the government’s task relating to local and regional climate transition, which is one of the foundations for the government’s upcoming climate policy action plan. During the year, efforts to develop practical, research-based tools and methods for climate investment plans have intensified. An initial prototype of a calculation tool has been available to all 23 signatory cities since October. Development of the system demonstrator concept also continued during the year, and in the autumn a design phase for a brand new effort was launched in a partnership between Vinnova and Viable Cities, which involves several cities. During 2022, Viable Cities has had responsibility for a government assignment, Thriving North (support for innovation work for sustainable urban and community development in Norrbotten and Västerbotten). An initial prototype of a regional cli- mate contract has been developed with a working group of representatives from the regions and county administrative boards in Västerbotten and Norrbotten. Moreover, a platform for regional societal transition has been initiated in northern Sweden. The platform is called Thriving North, and is now being carried forward by several players in Sweden’s four northern regions. The EU’s work on the Cities Mission has been intensified during the year. September 2021 saw the launch of the Cities Mission, one of five EU missions. Cities across Europe were invited to register their interest in becoming forerunners in the transition to climate neutrality. As many as 377 cities applied. In June 2022, 112 cities were chosen to be pioneers in the climate transition, 100 in the EU and 12 in associated nations.‌ These 112 include seven of the Swedish cities that are among the 23 signatories of the Climate City Contract 2030. Over the past year, the European platform NetZeroCities has begun efforts to support implementation of the Ci...
