PROJECTS

The Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra has teamed up in 2015 with distinguished global partners and continued the work in 2016 with the Nordic Council of Ministers and institutions from all the Nordic countries to answer a simple question: how far could we go simply by scaling up already proven low-carbon solutions? The Green to Scale project has combined innovative analysis with active communication. The results show how implementing existing low-carbon solutions can take us a long way in tackling the global climate crisis. The next phase zooms in on selected countries and takes us closer to implementation.

PARTNERS

Green to Scale has been produced in co-operation with distinguished partner institutions. The first project was concluded with global partners in 2015, and the work has continued with Nordic partners since 2016.

Partners in 2017-2018

The new phase of Green to Scale zooms in on selected countries, moving closer to implementation. Sitra serves as the project secretariat and CONCITO from Denmark, CICERO from Norway and University of Iceland are represented in the steering group. Nordic Council of Ministers has included Green to Scale in its Prime Ministers’ Initiative and kindly provided funding. The analysis is carried out by SEI Tallinn, supported by local experts such as SEI Africa.

Nordic Partners

The Nordic Green to Scale project involves distinguished institutions from all five Nordic countries, along with the Climate and Air Pollution Group KoL of the Nordic Council of Ministers:

Center for International Climate and Environmental Research (CICERO), Norway, who conducted the technical analysis for the report
CONCITO, Denmark
Sitra, Finland
Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), Sweden
University of Iceland Institute for Sustainability Studies, Iceland.

Global partners

The global Green to Scale project (2015) involved distinguished institutions from around the world:

Alberto Luiz Coimbra Institute for Graduate Studies and Research in Engineering, Brazil
International Finance Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank Group
Centro Mexicano de Derecho Ambiental (CEMDA), Mexico
Ethiopian Development Research Institute (EDRI), Ethiopia

What's this about?

A carbon-neutral circular economy

The way we live, travel, eat and do business is undergoing a radical change. The new everyday life will be based on using services instead of owning things.
