EXperts in Teamwork: Climate-Neutral Trondheim 2030?

EXperts in Teamwork works together with Trondheim Municipality (TK) and relevant stakeholders on rethinking the municipality’s climate policy.

The Municipal Energy and Climate Plan (Kommunedelplan: energi og klima 2017-2030) is under revision, and the course allows students to critically analyse the key challenges facing Trondheim on its journey towards becoming a climate-neutral city by 2030, with a particular focus on planning, implementation and improvement for a climate transition over the next three years (2023-2025).
