We can’t do everything ourselves.” - Why Swedish municipalities deliberately promote intermediation in governing the mobility transition
A local governance initiative for climate mitigation
The aim of this paper is to contribute with an understanding of the governance capacity of local public actors to be place leaders for local collaborative initiatives aimed at addressing climate mitigation, and how this agency is embedded within place-specific institutional conditions. The research design is a single case study of a climate mitigation initiative in the city of Uppsala in Sweden. The discussion based on the empirical results highl…
Inside out/outside in – The balance between internal and external localisation of the Sustainable Development Goals in Swedish municipalities
Regional collaboration for the sustainable development goals
The 2030 Agenda and its integrative and indivisible sustainable development goals (SDGs) challenge traditional ways of governing. Hence, collaboration across sectors, actors, and levels is fundamental in SDG localisation, where subnational levels (actors at regional and local levels) play key roles in forwarding societal transformation. The paper sheds light on the complexity of collaboration by exploring the early stages of developing multi‐acto…
Upstream pollution control by water utilities in Sweden
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are not designed to handle many harmful substances that are present in wastewater. The substances can also be transferred to the sewage sludge, which can make it unsuitable as a fertiliser. To alleviate these problems, Sweden has a practice called upstream work (uppströmsarbete) that aims to prevent harmful substances from entering the wastewater via efforts to control the pollution closer to the source. Upstre…
Localizing the sustainable development goals through an integrated approach in municipalities
The 2030 Agenda and its SDGs call for cross-sectoral collaboration and societal transformation. Translating these indivisible goals to the local level is an important undertaking for municipalities given their wide range of responsibilities. This paper explores SDG localization in a Swedish municipal organization, providing analyses on management practice, having an integrated approach to sustainability. Based on document studies and interviews, …
