Jönköping could become the name of a 1925 km2 power plant in Sweden. The community in the southwest of Stockholm wants to become a plus-energy community by 2050. This means that by 2050 it will produce more energy than it consumes. The Swedes will present how this will work in their own climate week from 04 to 11 September 2019.

The European Environment Agency's latest report presents a wide range of threat scenarios facing the EU as a result of climate change. To cope with them, measures ranging from climate adaptation to energy reduction are urgently needed. The community of Jönköping will present it's best ideas and innovative approaches from abroad on it's climate week from 04 to 11 September 2019.

On the 5th of September the CLARITY-team will give a presentation on how cities can better adapt to the consequences of climate change, making infrastructure projects more secure. There will be an open workshop on climate change adaption, for which you can sign up here. The workshop will be held by the swedish national meteorological institute SMHI, consulting company WSP, Stockholm City and the County Administrative Board of Jönköping County.
