Green growth in the Baltic Sea Region
17 December 2012
With Christmas nearing and temperatures below zero in many cities throughout the Baltic region, global warming may not come to mind as the most pressing issue. Some might even argue that it would be nice if the mercury would climb a couple of notches in the thermometer.

Inspiring local level decisions steer innovative cities

Innovative and sustainable cities do not emerge by themselves. Market forces or political statements alone do not attract people and enterprises. Active leadership and broad partnerships are needed to steer our cities into a sustainable direction.

Quality of life in Baltic Cities
1 November 2010
It was 18 years ago, in 1992, at the UN Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro, when the idea of sustainable development was first time recognized at a high political level. The governments of the world committed to promote sustainable development in their national activities and international co-operation. As a result of the Rio Conference, the world began to understand…

It is all about us isn’t it – The Sustainable solutions for Cities
20 May 2010
The Baltic cities are changing with the world around them. Globalisation sets the scene for our cities with increased competition and global effects on local actions. Cities must cope with climate change, air pollution from increasing transportation, greater waste production and congested roads. New modes of production develop and people want a city suitable for working, housing and city life on…

Improving the state of Baltic Sea
1 October 2009
The Baltic Sea Region connects the states having different historical backgrounds, distinct economic development and political experience. They have divergent past, but what unites them all is the future of the Baltic Sea. The prosperity of each state surrounding the Sea directly depends on the ecological state of the Baltic Sea. The importance of the Baltic Sea and the influence of its region…

Visions of Sustainable Future
1 February 2008
The 20th century was the period of unprecedented economic development in the world, great fall of colo- nialism and totalitarian systems. However, it took place at the expense of depletion of non-renewable sources of fossil fuels, metal ores and destruction of Earth’s natural wealth. It became commonly known at the end of the 20th century that the human being, in his uncontrollable expansion,…

Update your methods and tools
1 August 2007
Water binds together the populations of the cities around the Baltic Sea. This has been the case throughout history and now the cooperation is being further developed. Closer ties are emerging through contacts between countries, through the many different joint projects and the positive spirit of cooperation that are in the process of being consolidated.

Active UBC Cities
1 February 2007
Cities and urban areas play a central role in the wellbeing of European citizens, since eighty percent live in urban areas. Cities are a major source of prosperity. They are propellers of growth that radiate vitality far into the surrounding rural areas. The competitiveness of cities is a prerequisite for the European Union's success in global competition.

Baltic Cities Environmental bulletin No 1, 2001
1 April 2001
It is with great pleasure that I am able to write this editorial for the Union of the Baltic Cities’ Environment Bulletin. In my wide and varied experiences over the years, it has been very clear to me that the countries and municipalities of the Nordic countries have led the way in many areas of environmental policy and protection, the same has been true with regards to sustainable development.
