Unite! Smart cities – by and for the citizens

Join researchers from Unite! for a session about the transition to climate-neutral cities!

All member states across Europe and 12 associated countries have been selected to join the ambitious goal to develop Climate City Contracts, which will include an overall plan for climate neutrality across all sectors such as energy, buildings, waste management and transport, together with related investment plans.
In total, 100 cities have been selected (in Sweden: Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Umeå, Gävle, Helsingborg, Lund) to join this transition. This process will involve citizens, research organisations and the private sector.

Join our session and ask our Unite! researchers from six different European countries (Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Finland and Sweden) everything you would like to know about the transition to sustainable and climate-neutral cities by 2030.
