We’re living as if we had 1.75 planets to work from. Our ecosystems can’t regenerate in line with the amount of resources we’re using. So, how do we change that and create truly circular societies. In this podcast, we put the focus on what cities can do to stop ‘overshoot day.’
In this podcast, the Stockholm Resilience Centre is calling on cities and countries to appoint Chief Engineers to put together the best engineering and design minds together with the finance community to speed up the transformation. We hear from the city of Glasgow, the UN17 village in Copenhagen and also hear about how Turku in Finland has found a way to ensure collaboration across the city thanks to support from ICLEI, a global network of local governments working towards sustainability.

New regulations and laws put increasing demands for reducing climate impact in construction projects. Is there a way for construction development to make strategic decisions to reduce climate impact already in the first stages of planning?
Listen to our latest podcast on how digital innovations developed at Sweco are being used as tools to attaining sustainability goals, and why assessing both the carbon emissions as well as the cost impact of design choices at the very early stages of construction development can be a game changer for the industry.
In this podcast, we talk to architects, property developers and sustainability experts.

While the race is on to reduce emissions in Europe’s cities, how can they create a long-term net-zero future and move to a circular economy. We look at what’s required to make this shift in mindset and how cities should start going about this work. While there are several common challenges that all cities face, it is also clear that cities are uniquely positioned to drive this transition.
The podcast includes experts from the United Nations Environment Program, Researchers in the field of circularity and Environmental planners from the city of Lahti, a city chosen to the European Green Capital Award as the first city in Finland.
