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. • Net zero emissions must be achieved by 2030. This means that the uptake of greenhouse gases (negative emissions) must be equal to at least the remaining emissions after the annual emission reduction of 10 to 14 per cent within the municipality. Negative emissions cannot replace these emission reductions, but instead are tools for climate neutrality and climate positivity. Climate positive Uppsala means that: • greenhouse gas emissions within the municipal geography will continue to decrease in line with the carbon budget even after achieving climate neutrality • the climate impact of consumption among Uppsala residents is also included in goals, actions and monitoring5 • negative emissions within the municipal geography exceed residual greenhouse gas emissions 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. Kristianstad municipality’s environment, climate and energy initiatives must assist with international, national and regional commitments, and the municipality must continue to remain at the cutting edge of ecological sustainability efforts. Kristianstad municipality must lead by example and steer development towards a climate-smart society with rich, healthy nature. Kristianstad municipality’s climate and environment plan 2023–2027 is key to the municipality’s work on ecological sustainability and establishes the following goals with regard to the municipality as a geographical region: 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. • Kristianstad municipality must be fossil fuel-free by 2034 • Consumption-based emissions must not exceed 5 tonnes per capita by 2030 • Renewable electricity production must reach at least 500 GWh by 2030 • 100 GWh of solar electricity per year must be produced in the municipality by 2030 • Energy use per capita in Kristianstad must be reduced by 40 per cent by 2030 (compared to 2008) • At least half of all journeys in the municipality must be made by walking, cycling or public transport by 2030 • The following goals for the municipal organisation are also included: • The municipality’s own vehicles must run on fossil-free fuel by 2025 • The municipality’s own works machinery, work vehicles and work tools must be powered by fossil-free fuel by 2028 • The total output from municipal solar energy facilities must be at least 5 MW by 2025 • From the time the plan is adopted, energy use in the organisation’s own operations (electricity and heat) must be reduced by at least 1.5 per cent per floor area per year The goals in the climate and environment plan with the associated description of measures and monitoring constitute a key policy document for reducing climate impact in Kristianstad municipality and efforts to achieve climate neutrality. The transport and agriculture sectors are the two biggest emission sectors in Kristianstad municipality, each accounting for one-third of Kristianstad’s territorial greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, the soil carbon sequestration capability needs to increase in order to achieve climate neutrality by 2030. More information on how Kristianstad is working on the transition in these two sectors is provided later on in this document. Ten co...
Municipal climate goals. Växjö’s vision is to be a fantastic place to live and work for our residents, businesses and visitors both now and in the future. The target scenarios described in Växjö’s “Sustainable Växjö 2030” sustainability programme show how we are approaching the vision. The sustainability programme states that “as a community, those of us who will be living and working in Växjö in 2030 will have no adverse impact on the climate”. When we refer to the goal of a Climate-Neutral Växjö 2030 in line with this Climate City Contract, it is this wording that we are using as a basis. This wording also includes climate impact from a consumption-based perspective.

Municipal climate goals. The UN's 17 global sustainability goals and Agenda 2030 set the course for Uppsala's efforts to achieve smart and sustainable growth for all. The goals in Agenda 2030 are integrated into the Municipal Council's nine focus goals, which govern the municipal activities and strive to create a common direction and change in all the municipal activities. Uppsala's climate target, which was adopted by the Municipal Council in 2015, means that Uppsala will be a fossil-free welfare municipality in 2030 and climate positive in 20501. This means that: 1 Environment and climate programmes 2014–2023. Adopted by Uppsala Municipal Council on February 24, 2014. Revised according to the decision of the Municipal Council on December 7, 2015 – strengthened long-term climate targets. All targets are compared to 1990 and are measured in absolute terms. The Environment and Climate Programme is currently being revised will be laid down in the first quarter of 2022. Emissions of greenhouse gases from energy use, transport and machinery within Uppsala Municipal geography must be close to zero by 2030 and be based on renewable energy sources. The total emissions of greenhouse gases must be: by 2040, be close to zero, i.e. have decreased by about 90% by 2050, has fallen by the equivalent of more than 100 % by 2070, has fallen by the equivalent of around 110%. In Goals and Budget 2022 with plan for 2023-2024, there is a task to increase the pace of the climate transition so that the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Uppsala from 2021 will be 10-14% per year until 2030. The climate impact of municipal activities will be reduced at the same time as the municipality actively promotes a lower impact among all of Uppsala's residents and companies. The municipality will focus on climate-positive energy supply, the expansion of solar energy and sustainable transport.
Municipal climate goals. Nacka municipality adopted a local environmental programme in 2016, with indicators and target levels so that development of the municipality’s environmental goals up to 2030 could be monitored. In June, the municipal board instructed the Director of Climate and Environment to prepare a new climate and environment programme to replace the current environment programme 2016–2030. This assignment involves producing a climate and environment programme in which the goals and associated indicators are reviewed and, where necessary, adjusted given the actual impact on climate and the environment. Moreover, Nacka will select and prioritise the most important areas within each goal in order to achieve maximum impact. The goals must be measurable, if possible, and clarify how the environmental and climate goals are interlinked with Xxxxx’s overall goals, the 2030 Agenda, the carbon budget and other policy documents.
Municipal climate goals. Växjö's vision is to be a fantastic place to stay, live and work for our residents, companies and visitors today and in the future. The goals described in the “Sustainable Växjö 2030” programme show how we approach this vision. The “Sustainable Växjö 2030” programme also states that “We who stay, live and work in Växjö in 2030 as a society have no negative impact on the climate”. When we talk about the “Climate-neutral Växjö 2030” goal, it is this formulation we lean towards. This also includes climate impact from a consumption-based perspective. In 1996, the municipal board decided that Växjö would become a fossil fuel-free municipality. This will be achieved by 2030 and includes the entire municipality as a geographical area. There is political unity on the goal and not least the business community has also embraced it. The overall climate ambitions are described in Växjö's sustainability programme. The Climate City Contract contributes mainly to achieve the “Climate and Environmental Smart” target in the sustainability programme by developing solutions within all the challenges of the programme but mainly in the fields of “Community Building”, “Transport and Travel” and “Consumption and Production". The work is concretised through development areas and initiative areas in various plans, see Annexe 1.
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: • A climate-positive Eskilstuna by 2045 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. • For consumption-based emissions, a corresponding reduction rate should be followed or kept in line with national goals when they are decided upon. 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. Järfälla's overall governing document in the area of sustainability is the overview plan and the environmental plan. These documents contain a number of objectives, measures and key indicators aimed at promoting sustainable development in line with both national and global climate targets. The main objective of the overview plan is to provide the best possible conditions for sustainable development for those living and working in the municipality. Five milestones have been formulated to achieve the overall goal. These milestones mean that Järfälla will offer the following:
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.
