Projects and contact information
Sustainable Espoo programme supports the development and implementation of economically, ecologically, socially and culturally sustainable solutions. The current council term 2021–2025 is the third one. Cross-administrative development programmes are one of the key means of implementing the city’s strategy, the Espoo Story.
Development work, experiments and cooperation related to the Sustainable Espoo programme are primarily carried out in projects enabled by external funding. The projects help us find solutions that facilitate the daily life of Espoo residents. The goal is to find local solutions for solving global challenges.
The Centre of excellence for sustainable development is responsible for the promotion and steering the city level sustainable development and climate work. Solutions are being sought in cooperation, e.g. low carbon mobility, clean energy, the circular economy and the future challenges of a smart city.
