    Abstract : To mitigate climate change and reach Sweden’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2045, or at an earlier stage of 2030 for 23 Swedish cities, urgent action is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the building sector’s significant contribution to carbon emissions, a crucial aspect in achieving these goals is improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings, as most of these will still be in use by this time.

  6. 5. Systemic intermediaries and transformative climate governance capacities in cities : A case study of the Strategic Innovation Programme Viable Cities

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Therése Fahlgren; [2022]
    Keywords : Intermediation; climate governance; transformative capacity; climate neutrality;

    Abstract : The role of intermediation in the development of transformative climate governance capacities in cities is insufficiently examined, which is concerning given that research on transformative climate governance  has shown low degrees of  actual capacity on-the ground. As transformative climate governance is produced in the relational activities of urban stakeholders, the potential role intermediary actors can play in strengthening transformative governance capacities in cities warrants in-depth investigation.
