Welcome! Here, you will find an English summary of Trondheim's new energy and climate plan, which outlines our strategic vision for tackling energy and climate-related challenges. 

The plan will serve as a foundation for various initiatives, including the annually revised climate budget and action plan, as well as Trondheims contribution to the EU's mission on 112 climate neutral and smart cities 2030.

The carbon footprint is the sum of our direct emissions in Trondheim and the indirect emissions we cause elsewhere.

1.1: We aim to develop an area-neutral, attractive, and climate-resilient city. 

1.1: We aim to have short distances to everyday activities, in order to reduce emissions from transportation, infrastructure, and land use.

1.2: We shall preserve and strengthen nature and green areas to secure the ecosystem services, such as natural resources, carbon storage in vegetation and soil, as well as natural flood and erosion protection. In this way, climate efforts also contribute to strengthening the intrinsic value of nature.

1.3: We shall preserve, manage and operate all agricultural land in order to increase local food production, and thereby strengthen readiness in the face of climate change. 

2: We will phase out fossil energy, increase local renewable energy production, and utilize energy resources smartly and flexibly.

2.1: We will collaborate with the electric grid and district heating companies to develop a common knowledge base, ensuring the optimal utilization of current and future energy resources and infrastructure.

2.2: We will collaborate with energy stakeholders, businesses, and authorities to develop and implement smart and flexible systems for energy efficiency, storage, and sharing, in order to optimize the utilization of renewable energy resources and enable the city to cope with variations in energy supply. 

2.3: We will increase the production of renewable energy in built-up areas to limit the loss of nature.

2.4: We will facilitate that everyone has the opportunity to use energy resources smartly and flexibly.

3: We will streamline and modernize the transportation sector and make it nearly emission-free.

3.1: We will ensure that everyone can meet their mobility needs with emission-free and attractive solutions.

3.2: We will use and facilitate emission-free, safe, and efficient freight and utility transport.

3.3: We will optimize the use of space, resources, and energy in the work on mobility and transportation.

4: We will develop buildings and infrastructure for a climate-resilient, emission-free, and circular future. 

4.1: Buildings and structures should have flexible space and energy solutions and must be designed with consideration for both climate change and disassembly and reuse at the end of their lifespan.

4.2: We will be a driving force in developing a circular construction and civil engineering industry, where carbon footprint and mass deposition are reduced, and resource efficiency is increased.

4.3: All construction sites in Trondheim shall be emission-free, including transportation to and from the construction site.

5: We will develop a circular city where we preserve resources and reduce our consumption.

5.1: We will reduce consumption by facilitating a more climate- and resource-friendly consumption.

5.2: We will promote a circular economy by demanding circular products and solustions, and facilitating that investing in repair, reuse, and other circular solutions is financially rewarding for both residents and cultural and business sectors.

5.3: We will keep materials in the cycle for as long as possible by reducing our waste, promoting reuse, and facilitating emission-free waste management.

6: We will compensate for the direct emissions we cannot eliminate.

6.1: We will contribute to establishing carbon capture from the waste incineration plant.

6.2: We will strengthen natural carbon storage by developing an area-neutral city, and preserving and restoring natural and agricultural areas.

7: Together we shall make the city and nature more climate resilient. 

7.1: We will plan for climate change in the management and planning of the city and nature.

7.2: We shall strengthen our readiness in order to get prepared for more - and more extreme - weather events related to storms and other natural hazards. 

7.3: We shall strengthen food security and preparedness by growing as much food locally as possible. 

8: We will promote equity and solidarity in the fight against climate change.

8.1: We will conduct inclusive and fair processes and design energy and climate measures that avoid increasing social inequalities and preferably enhance social sustainability.

8.2: The energy and climate transition shall safeguard and strengthen the population's physical and mental health, in order to counteract the negative health effects of climate change. 

8.3: The densification of the city shall be done in a way that safeguards public health and reduces social inequality in health. 

9: We will be a driver for value creation that safeguards environmental and social sustainability.

9.1: We shall facilitate the green transition of business development in the city and the region, in order to reduce climate risks and increase green competitiveness.

9.2: We shall strengthen cooperation between the public sector, businesses, the knowledge institutions and citizens, in order to create and adopt climate-friendly solutions. 

9.3: We shall create more green and circular jobs and invest in skills development and further education.
