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.

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 ...
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. 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.

This is to be achieved by ensuring that fuels are fossil-free by 2030, and by increasing sustainable travel. • Collectively, at least 65 per cent of all trips for residents in Umeå urban area will be made by public transport or bicycle or on foot by 2025.
Municipal climate goals. The city's new environmental programme, Environmental programme for the city of Malmö 2021- 2030, was adopted in April 2021. The environmental programme is Malmö's local agenda for work on the ecological dimension of Agenda 2030 and therefore indicates the direction of the city's environmental and climate work. The environmental programme governs the city's committees and companies and will also support and inspire Malmö residents and players in the private and public sector. The environmental programme consists of twelve goals divided into three goal areas: • A Malmö with the least possible climate impact • A Malmö with a good living environment • A Malmö with rich and healthy nature The overall climate target area includes the following goals:
Municipal climate goals. Enköping has a vision to be an inspiring place, with a living environment where every- one can develop into their best selves. Natural quality of life, the most attractive city in the region, and a sustainable actor in the wider world. This vision means that the Municipality has the lowest possible climate impact on a local, regional, national and international level. That the Municipality conducts high-class environmental projects and is economical with the planet’s resources, and that a sustainable environment and sustainable energy are naturally integral parts of all community planning. Enköping shall be diligent in environmental work, and demonstrate that it is possible to grow in size and population while still reducing environmental impact.
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, A climate-positive Örebro with healthy ecosystems and good biodiversity, includes the following interim goals for Örebro Municipality: • In 2030 Örebro municipal group is climate neutral. 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. • In 2045 Örebro municipality as a geographic area is climate neutral. • In 2050 Örebro municipality as a geographic area 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. 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.
