Important results from the project
The project largely met its goals by generating knowledge on how municipalities can work with climate transition in collaboration with citizens and civil society. Key results include strengthened collaboration between academia, the municipality and civil society, developed formats for shared learning, and policy recommendations for more long-term and inclusive climate work.
Expected long term effects
In the long term, the project is expected to contribute to more robust and just forms of municipal climate transition. By highlighting the importance of coordination, relationship-building and continued participation, the results can strengthen the municipality’s capacity to work across organisational boundaries and in closer collaboration with citizens and civil society.
Approach and implementation
The project was implemented as a collaboration between Malmö University and the City of Malmö, with close links to civil society actors. It was based on follow-up research, participation in collaborative activities, literature studies and joint knowledge development through workshops, study circles and recurring meetings. The approach made it possible to follow and analyze climate change adaptation in practice.
