Uppsala Convention Bureau

A climate smart city

Översättaren sade:

Uppsala is a sustainable meeting destination and proudly holds the title of “Most Sustainable Destination.”

Uppsala Convention Bureau, together with several partners in the local meetings industry, is a member of the international congress organization ICCA. The chapter members – representing convention bureaus, venues, event organizers, transport providers, and hotels – all work towards a more sustainable Nordic region.

In the report “Scandinavian Destination Sustainability Index,” which analyzes sustainability efforts across 20 destinations in the Nordic countries, Uppsala ranks in shared first place.

Sustainability within the meetings industry is just one part of a much larger effort. The report highlights various indicators used to measure and compare progress in climate and environmental work. Long-term municipal initiatives concerning emissions, recycling, and renewable energy are assessed, as well as the local meetings industry’s commitment to sustainability. We see a genuine dedication to sustainability here in Uppsala.
