During this first webinar, we discussed strategies to reduce emissions and shared experiences about how to adapt cities, towns and villages to changing climate conditions. The topic of challenges and opportunities that lie ahead were also tackled. How can we replicate and scale up the most successful climate adaptation and mitigation solutions? A global example in this field is a small municipality Ii in Northern Finland and the mayor Ari Alatossava showcased their climate work. Pauliina Jalonen, Expert at the Association of Finnish municipalities shared their insights in working together and supporting municipalities at different stages. Astrid Ståledotter Landstad, Climate advisor from the Municipality of Oslo, presented their obstacles and achievements in reaching the climate targets in Oslo.
