According to UNEP, cities account for 60-80 per cent of energy consumption and 75 per cent of carbon emissions despite occupying just 3 per cent of the Earth’s land. With urban populations growing, finding innovative solutions to the issue and championing a net-zero emissions approach can protect human and environmental health.
The Stockholm Royal Seaport, located a 10-minute bicycle ride from the city centre, is Sweden’s largest urban development area, with at least 12,000 new homes and 35,000 workplaces. Built on a former industrial site, it embraces sustainable construction practices, biogas production from food waste, connection to a new tram line, a robust recycling system and more. The Royal Seaport is the ideal testbed for Stockholm’s ambition to be fossil-free and climate-positive by 2040.
The Government of the Sweden will host World Environment Day 2022 in partnership with the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). The year 2022 marks 50 years since the first United Nations Conference on the Human Environment - the 1972 Stockholm Conference that led to the creation of UNEP and designating 5 June every year as World Environment Day.
On 2 and 3 June 2022, Stockholm will host Stockholm+50, an international meeting convened by the UN General Assembly that commemorates 50 years since the 1972 UN Conference on the Human Environment, which made the environment a pressing global issue for the first time and led to the establishment of UNEP.
On 5 June 2022, the city will host World Environment Day, the biggest international day for the environment. Led by UNEP, the event will engage countries, businesses and millions of people from across the world to protect the planet. “Only One Earth” is the campaign slogan, with the focus on “Living Sustainably in Harmony with Nature”.
