As you know by now, Stockholm has worked very hard and during many years to include environmental measures in its daily policies.
Starting with 2010, one European city will be selected as the European Green Capital of the year. The award will be given to a city that has a consistent record of achieving high environmental standards, is permanently committed to ambitious action, further environmental improvement and sustainable development, and can act as a role model to inspire other cities and promote best practices in all other European cities.
In March this year, Stockholm was designated European Green Capital 2010, after competing for the title with 35 other European cities.
You can find the brochure outlining all the different measures taken hereunder, and you will see most of this when you come to Stockholm. Enjoy the read!
