Lidköping and Lusaka, Zambia

Project:Climate smart and resilient municipalities Lidköping and City of Lusaka

Our municipalities have underdeveloped sufficient collaboration within and outside the organizations, effective cross-sectoral working methods need to be developed to mobilize resources for climate action.
We will implement initiatives to develop collaboration methods and coordinate actors in our municipalities to prevent and cope with climate change. We will also carry out activities together with young people, politicians and officials in the municipality as well as civil society to increase knowledge about circular thinking, greening, green and blue structure and youth influence.

The sub-goals of the project are:
