About the theme

The transition towards climate neutral cities can be accelerated if local government and companies in cities would change how they invest. In this workshop, we will explore how investment frameworks such as circular procurement can be adopted in small and medium sized cities. Examples from the Nordics will include how public and private organisations are working with investments as an important tool to drive climate transition.

​

Who will be there?

Besides you and others interested in the field, we anticipate participation from experts on sustainable investment and procurement, representatives from small and medium size cities and a wide range of national and international branch organisations from the Nordic region.
