Organised as a partner event of the EU Week of Regions and Cities, and the final meeting of the Climate-4-CAST project co-funded by the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme, the Summit focused on the role of climate budgeting in helping cities align their financial decisions with climate neutrality objectives.
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.

Cities across the Baltic Sea Region are increasingly looking for ways to make walking and cycling attractive, safe, and reliable throughout the year. Year-Round Active Mobility is a mindset change to ensure cycling and walking is taken into account as a means of transport throughout all four seasons, both by users and city planners. This interactive workshop invites cities to explore how year-round active mobility can be integrated into sustainable urban mobility planning in a practical and realistic way.

Now your contribution is needed: In an explicit workshop we want to talk about the barriers and potentials for using project results after a project has ended and what is important to overcome these obstacles. What thoughts do you have, which stakeholders should be involved and how can energy transition project results be implemented into your everyday work life? How can good governance improve the usability and visibility of project results?
