Municipal climate goals. The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda are setting the course for Uppsala’s efforts to achieve smart, sustainable growth for all. The goals of the 2030 Agenda are integrated into the municipal council’s directive objectives, which govern municipal activities and endeavour to create a common direction and change throughout municipal operations. Uppsala’s climate goal is to achieve a climate neutral Uppsala by 2030 and a climate positive Uppsala by 2050. This goal was adopted by the municipal council in 2015 and 1 Viable Cities is a strategic innovation program funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, Vinnova and Formas. The program runs until 2030 and has approximately 130 memberorganisations. Hostorganisation is KTH. means that Uppsala will be a climate neutral welfare municipality and a regional, national and international climate transition node. The climate transition must take place in line with the 2030 Agenda’s overall principle: Leave no one behind2. Climate neutral Uppsala 2030 means that: • Greenhouse gas emissions3 must be reduced at the rate necessary in order to remain in line with the obligations set out in the Paris Agreement to achieve the goal of no more than 1.5 degrees of warming. The reduction in Uppsala must be 10–14 per cent per year. • Total greenhouse gas emissions in the municipal geography must not exceed 28 per cent of emissions for 20204 or 285 kilotonnes CO2e by 2030. Climate positive Uppsala means that: • the climate impact of consumption among Uppsala residents is also included in goals, actions and monitoring5 The Environment and Climate Change Programme includes a carbon budget for Uppsala’s geographical area, meaning that: 2 Environment and Climate Change Programme. Adopted by Uppsala municipal council on 24 February 2014 and revised by the municipal council on 30 May 2022.
Municipal climate goals. The City Council has set long-term goals for a climate-smart municipality and in our general planning, we have emphasised the importance of sustainable development and several established strategies for how the municipality should work for Enköping to become a sustainable city and municipality. • The municipality's sustainability policy states that we strive for sustainable development to create a good quality of life for everyone who lives and works in our municipality and for future generations. • We have also laid down that the municipality, with a holistic view, long-term perspective and cooperation, will contribute to the 17 global sustainability goals. Enköping is a climate- smart, fossil-free and well-functioning municipality where it is easy to have a sustainable lifestyle. • Our main transport goal for Enköping Municipality is to make sustainable transport the norm as the city grows. Half the transport in the city in 2030 will be by foot, bicycle and public transport, and in 2040, two thirds of transport in the city will be by foot, bicycle and public transport. With the participation of the municipality in Viable Cities, the municipality has undertaken to become climate neutral by 2030. To clarify the municipality's climate and sustainability work, a sustainability programme with action plan must be linked to the municipality's control model and the roadmaps that the municipal director's management team works with. The development of the programme will start in 2022. To achieve a clearer target picture, a carbon dioxide budget will also be established in 2022.
Municipal climate goals. Eskilstuna’s climate footprint must gradually move from negative to positive, and the municipality must work in accordance with the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below two degrees. The long-term goal is to bring about a climate- xxxxxxxx0 Eskilstuna by 2045 in order to contribute to global and national climate goals and Eskilstuna’s vision for 2030. Goal: Everyone living and working in Eskilstuna municipality needs to play their part in order to make it possible to achieve the long-term goal, and the reduction in emissions must be exponential in accordance with what the regional carbon budget shows3. This means that the major emission reductions have to be made early on. The same is true of other greenhouse gases and consumption-based emissions. Targets: • To reduce total net territorial4 greenhouse gas emissions by about 80 per cent between 2020 and 2030. It should be noted that there is scope for carbon offset5 measures in order to achieve both short and long-term goals.
Municipal climate goals. In 2016, Nacka Municipality adopted a local Environment Programme with indicators and goal levels for tracking progress on the Municipality’s climate goals up to 2030. The Environment Programme includes six environmental goals that are a priority for achieving attractive living environments throughout Nacka. The programme makes it clear that the Municipality shall help to reduce global climate impact by reducing its direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions.
Municipal climate goals. Gävle Municipality shall be a sustainable municipality from a social, ecological and economic perspective. Gävle shall reduce the ecological footprint of its operations and of its population, so as not to burden the planet’s finite resources. Gävle as a geographical location is climate-neutral by 2035 and climate-positive by 2040. Gävle has also decided that the goal should include consumption-based emissions, i.e. emissions that Gävle Municipality gives rise to through consumption by citizens, the public and private sectors, wherever in the world they occur. The goal was adopted
Municipal climate goals. The Municipal Council of Karlstad Municipality has established the overall goal that “Karlstad shall be a fossil-free and climate-smart municipality”. The goal encom- passes the entire municipal group. The goal is part of the goal area “A climate-smart municipality”, and is described in more detailed in a Strategic Plan: ”In order to contribute to achieving the global climate goals, Karlstad shall work to become a fossil-free municipality within a few decades. Karlstad shall also be a municipality that is innovative and uses smart solutions to limit climate impact. This means that no heating or electricity is provided and no transport takes place 1 Viable Cities is a strategic innovation programme funded jointly by the Swedish Energy Agency, Vinnova and Formas. The programme runs 2017–2030 and has approximately 130 members. The host organization is KTH Royal Institute of Technology. with fossil-derived fuels such as oil or coal. Every resident’s knowledge, participation and action are important if Karlstad is to achieve the climate goals. In our climate work, we therefore want to make it easier for the people of Karlstad to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. It should be easy for residents and businesses in our municipality to make smart choices for the climate and environment.” In a proposal submitted to the Municipal Council on 8 December 2022, the overall goal of Karlstad becoming a fossil-free, climate-smart municipality will be deadlined and defined in more detail. The proposal states that Karlstad will work so that, by 2030, it has no negative impact on the climate, and that the Municipality’s internal operations will be fossil free by 2026. According to a Municipal Council decision, the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda are to be included in Karlstad’s internal management by objectives. In the 2030 Agenda, the primary climate goal is Goal 13: Climate Action.
Municipal climate goals. Umeå municipality has established environmental goals that were decided in February 2020 by a broad majority in the Municipal Council. The climate-related environmental goals for the Umeå Municipal Group are: • Umeå's consumption-based climate impact will decrease to 2 tonnes of CO2equivalent per person by 2040 and 1 tonne by 2050. • Umeå must be climate neutral12040, i.e. have net zero emissions of greenhouse gases. • Umeå Municipal Group must be climate neutral in 2025, i.e. have net zero emissions of greenhouse gases • The climate impact of transport in Umeå will be reduced. This is to be done by ensuring that the fuels are fossil-free by 2030 and that sustainable travel is increased. • In 2025, at least 65 per cent of all trips will be by public transport, bicycle or on foot in the urban area of Umeå. In 2021, the Umeå Municipal Group has developed a first action program to specify which measures are to be prioritised to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during the period 2022–2025. The Municipal Council is expected to decide on the action programme in the spring of 2022. The municipality has also worked with Umeå's climate roadmap - measures and organisation for Umeå's climate transition. Within the Umeå climate roadmap, the municipality will work together with other actors in Umeå to reduce climate emissions and take responsibility for Umeå's part of the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
Municipal climate goals. In 2020, Örebro Municipal Council adopted a programme for sustainable develop- ment, founded on the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. The programme establishes the desired political direction, and expresses core values and desirable societal developments in Örebro Municipality up to 2050. The programme contains a goal structure with six goal areas, three overall goals up to 2050 and 51 interim goals up to 2030 (with some exceptions). Goal area 5, 1 Viable Cities is a strategic innovation programme funded jointly by the Swedish Energy Agency, Vinnova and Formas. The programme runs 2017–2030 and has approximately 130 members. The host organization is KTH Royal Institute of Technology. • In 2040 Örebro municipal group is climate positive. The climate goals encompass consumption-based emissions, i.e. emissions that occur beyond Örebro Municipality boundaries. Örebro Municipality does not have sole authority over the geographic area. A strong partnership between different stakeholders in society is therefore necessary to achieve the climate goals and other goals for sustainable societal development in the programme. In Örebro Municipality, the transition to a sustainable society is integrated with exist- ing governance and management. The Sustainable Development Programme, the Comprehensive Plan and the Municipality’s annual budget are the governing docu- ments for Örebro Municipality. In Örebro Municipal Management’s Overall Strategies and Budget for 2022 including a plan for 2023–2024, there are six goal areas that describe the political ambition for the current mandate period, and correspond to the goal areas in Örebro Municipality’s Sustainable Development Programme. In each goal area, the Municipal Council has defined council goals and annual guidelines that will be put into practice by committees and company boards. Goals and prior- ities should make a clear contribution to ensuring the goals in the programme are achieved within the given timeframe.
Municipal climate goals. In the Environmental and Climate Programme for the City of Gothenburg 2021–2030, the City of Gothenburg aims to have reduced its climate impact to close to zero by 2030. This means that Gothenburg will reduce emissions in its geographical area by at least 10.3% per year and consumption-based emissions by at least 7.6% per year.
Municipal climate goals. Kristianstad Municipality’s work on the environment, climate and energy shall contrib- ute to international, national and regional actions, and the Municipality shall remain at the forefront of efforts in ecological sustainability. Kristianstad Municipality shall set a good example and steer developments towards a climate-smart society with a rich, thriving nature. During 2022, Kristianstad Municipality prepared a proposed Climate and Environment Plan to apply up to 2026. The plan encompasses the Municipality’s climate- and energy-related efforts, along with environmental aspects not covered by other governing documents. The plan is a central part of the Municipality’s work on eco- logical sustainability. The following climate goals have been proposed with regard 1 Viable Cities is a strategic innovation programme funded jointly by the Swedish Energy Agency, Vinnova and Formas.

To accomplish the mission of a Climate Neutral Kristianstad by 2030, the potential for local carbon sequestration also needs to be developed to balance out the green- house gas (GHG) emissions that remain in 2030. During 2023, Kristianstad Municipality will also further examine the current situation and the potential for greater carbon sequestration within the municipality. The focus will be on considering the establish- ment of wetlands (rewetting), and on carbon sequestration methods in farming.
