Espoo’s climate cooperation
The strength of Espoo’s climate work comes from cooperation with the best partners. Espoo has a wealth of expertise, research and development needed for the low-carbon solutions of the future that society needs to resolve climate challenges. Without the contribution of the entire community, Espoo will not be able to achieve its climate neutrality goal.
Espoo is rapidly reducing emissions on its way towards carbon neutrality together with partners and the entire community. Espoo is a European leader in climate work in the 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030 mission. The cities selected by the European Commission will act as centres of experimentation and innovation for solutions that will enable all European cities to achieve the same goals by 2050.
The European Commission awarded the EU Mission Label to the Espoo Climate City Contract in spring 2024. It is a recognition of the community’s broad commitment to climate work and strengthens Espoo’s position as a pioneer of the green transition for European cities.
25 climate partners in a joint commitment
In autumn 2023, the City of Espoo and 25 partners signed a commitment to work towards a carbon-neutral city. The Climate City Contract is part of the EU Mission for 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities and describes the actions and cooperation through which the carbon neutrality objective can be achieved. The commitment includes a wide range of companies, research institutes and universities from Espoo’s award-winning innovation community. Each partner has identified its role in a broad and diverse collaboration to achieve the climate goal.
