Inter-city cooperation on circular economy solutions to support 1.5 degree lifestyles

ACTIVITY INFORMATION
What we did

The city administration, which is the closest to its citizens, engages in activities that prioritize the needs of its residents. While possessing knowledge in building a circular economy and transitioning to a 1.5-degree lifestyle, it lacks opportunities to share this expertise with overseas cities. This project aims to provide a platform for municipalities seeking to exchange experiences with overseas counterparts, allowing them to share best practices and integrate them into their own policies. With the support of a grant from the Scandinavia-Japan Sasagawa Foundation, the project also intends to foster student exchanges between Turku, Finland, and cities in Japan, all dedicated to embracing the 1.5-degree lifestyle. These exchanges will empower students to bring back and apply best practices from overseas in their respective hometowns, thus enhancing the project's overall impact.
