Green Zone is a unique pioneering project, proving that it’s possible to create an almost waste-free environment even when building and operating services like a car wash and petrol station. The synergy-based solutions for air, light, energy and water make Green Zone a centre for learning about circular sustainability. Green Zone in Umeå was the first of its kind when it was established in 2000, and it’s still a role model when it comes to energy efficiency, environmental sustainability and a circular approach.

Gothenburg is determined to be one of the world’s most progressive cities in tackling climate change.
The Climate Program gathers the long-term climate work of Gothenburg: the municipal organisation, commercial and industrial sector and inhabitants. One important goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In 2012, Gothenburg released more than 8 tonnes per capita. Our goal is to reduce emissions to 3.5 tonnes by 2035 and 1.9 tonnes by 2050.
