Gävle is located by the Baltic Sea on the east coast of Sweden, approximately 170km north of Stockholm. The municipality is home to approximately 100 000 inhabitants. As climate risks, such as heatwaves, landslides, and storms are becoming more frequent, there is a growing focus on improving climate resilience within the municipality. With its recent history of flooding, climate risks related to water are considered a top priority.
