Cities and Green Growth – Urban Evolution Programme 23-24 May 2013
Urbanisation and the shift to a green economy are two of the greatest challenges of our time. Urban Evolution is an inspiring and ambitious conference in Stockholm on how cities embrace and meet both of these challenges through green growth.
The conference will launch Green Growth in Cities, the OECD Green Cities Program report, which integrates findings from green growth case studies of cities. The conference will elaborate on the potential of cities and regions around the world to foster economic growth and reduce environmental impact through innovative policies and political commitment. The conference provides an international platform for public and private sector leaders to engage in a global discussion and cooperation to enable green growth in cities.

This publication is the final report of the OECD Green Cities Programme, initiated by the 2010 OECD Roundtable of Mayors and Ministers in Paris, and presents the project’s main findings and policy recommendations. The aim of the programme is to better understand the concept of green growth in cities; the potential of urban policies for urban and national green growth; and to inform national, sub-national and municipal governments as they seek to address economic and environmental challenges by pursuing green growth.

Grön tillväxt i Stockholm, Sverige - OECD-rapporter om grön tillväxt
Denna publikation är en av fyra fallstudier av storstäder som genomförts inom OECD:s Green Cities Programme, som startades vid de rundabordssamtal för borgmästare och ministrar som OECD höll i Paris 2010.
Syftet med programmet är att öka förståelsen av konceptet grön tillväxt i städer, och att öka möjligheterna att genom kommunpolitiska åtgärder bidra till grön tillväxt såväl i kommuner som i hela landet. Programmet ska även bidra med information till myndigheter på nationell, regional och kommunal nivå som arbetar med ekonomiska och miljömässiga utmaningar genom att eftersträva grön tillväxt.
