Espoo is home of hundreds of international companies, both small startups and large multinational companies. The city engages in collaboration and active dialogue with businesses on several sustainability issues such as smart and clean energy, circular economy, public transportation, smart city, new mobility services. Espoo is a network of five city centres which enables sustainable and rapid growth. This network structure is supported by public transportation e.g. rail connections, intelligent transport system and intelligent services. With the five city centres, Espoo can provide its citizens services close to their homes but also excellent public transportation connections both inside Espoo and to surrounding cities and municipalities.

Opportunities6.0Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities.2Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity2Circular economy is crucial to achieving Espoo's ambitious sustainability targets: climate neutrality by 2030 and pioneering the SDGs by 2025. The city aims to become the best partner to develop sustainable solutions, and it participates in several projects where circular business models and businesses are tested, together with companies. During 2019, the city applied to several funding instruments, to further work with companies on bigger scale circular projects and ecosystem development. Besides projects, circular economy is gradually becoming more integrated in strategic decisions. For example, when preparing the city recommendations for the national COVID-19 recovery plan, Espoo highlighted collaboration with businesses to develop circular solutions as a necessary action. Also, at the end of 2019, the city Mayor signed the European Circular Cities Declaration, which is a public commitment to develop circular economy systemically, across the city organization and together with external stakeholders. Given the population growth estimations for the city, construction is a vital sector to rethink circularly. Other opportunities and focus points will be decided during 2021, as a new political term will start, and a new local government will be formed. Circular businesses are also enhanced by Enter Espoo, an organization fully owned by the City of Espoo, which counts with a programme that matches international corporations and investors with circular economy startups, technologies, and investment opportunities in Espoo’s innovation ecosystem.

Opportunities6.0Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities.2Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity3Transportation causes about a third of all green house gas emissions in Espoo, a city that aims to be carbon-neutral by 2030. At the moment, the share of sustainable modes of transport in Espoo is 52 percent of all transport. Key measures taken to increase sustainability of the transport sector by the City of Espoo are the ongoing rail infrastructure projects. The metro line running from Helsinki to Espoo will be extended by five additional stations to the west, and the new city rail link will improve the level of train service. The rail link’s new tracks are also a prerequisite of the proposed high-speed railway between Helsinki and Turku which would create a common commuting area for 1.5 million people while being a remarkable investment in climate protection and growth. The parallel-running metro and train lines will be connected by the new Jokeri Light Rail, an upgrade for the busiest bus route in the Helsinki region.As a signatory city of the Charter of Brussels, Espoo is committed to increasing the modal share of bicycles to 15 percent by 2024, which is advanced through a cycling-promotion programme. In addition, the ridership of the public bike-sharing system of Espoo and Helsinki is one of the highest in the world.The City of Espoo actively collaborates with companies and other partners, encouraging them to promote and pilot their mobility solutions in a city environment. The breakthrough of Mobility-as-a-Service could reduce car ownership significantly while still providing citizens with a reliable and sustainable way of travelling in the city, and Espoo has taken an active role to advance this.Espoo has also been a frontrunner in piloting autonomous buses, the goal of which is to improve the safety, reliability, cost-efficiency, and the level of service of transit. First in the world, an all-weather autonomous bus was developed in Espoo.In some situations, cars, trucks, and buses, are still needed. Therefore, supporting the emission-reductions of vehicles through electrification is essential.

Opportunities6.0Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities.2Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity4Espoo emphasizes the importance of cooperation in sustainability. In all Espoo’s action, the city promotes partnership between the city, inhabitants, businesses, educational and research institutes and other communities. The city serves as a platform for various experiments that support sustainable everyday life. For example Espoo was the first city which joined the Society's Commitment to Sustainable Development in Finland. Different units, companies and networks of the city have taken part in the programme through their own practical activities. These actions, big and small commitments, help to fulfill the target of the Espoo story (Espoo city strategy) of Espoo city being a pioneer in sustainability.

Its purpose is to attract companies, investors and visitors to Espoo, and help operators succeed in innovation and travel ecosystems. Visit Espoo’s sustainable tourism roadmap 2021-2030 targets sustainable growth together for tourism in Espoo and neighboring areas. By promoting sustainable tourism, Visit Espoo aims to achieve comprehensive sustainable development of tourism, taking into account ecological, economic and socio-cultural aspects. In order to achieve the various aspects of sustainable growth, the following focus areas have been selected for the roadmap: cooperation and encounters, sustainable services throughout the year and travelling belongs to everyone – a diverse and inclusive Espoo. These choices support the implementation of the Finnish national tourism roadmap, Visit Finland’s major regional strategies and the strategy of the City of Espoo and Enter Espoo. The vision for Visit Espoo roadmap towards 2030 is: Espoo is the most innovative and sustainable tourism area in the Nordics.Link to roadmap:https://www.enterespoo.fi/sites/default/files/file-attachments/2021-02/Visit%20Espoo%20Sustainable%20Tourims%20Roadmap%202021-2030.pdf

The logistics and construction site machinery and transport account for a significant share of the total traffic emissions in cities. Achieving carbon neutrality requires the participation of the building sector: infra-, new building-, renovation-, and demolition construction sites. HNRY project focuses on reducing these emissions acting on different levels. For example, Espoo is using machinery powered by green electricity, biogas, biofuels and hydrogen and piloting less polluting working habits, ways of using machinery and circular material use. Procurement in contract agreements is also being re-planned by including environmental criteria and using construction site carbon footprint calculations as a tool to measure the activity and impact. Additionally, a special focus is being put in the reuse of excavated landmasses and stone materials. The solutions are introduced https://hnry.fi/en/frontpage/. All the activity in HNRY were based on co-operation with the stakeholders: project partners, companies, contractors, organizations (eg.Finland Ministry of Envinronment, The Association of Finnish Technical Traders), citizens (Lukutori Citizen Society).Along the HNRY-project Espoo took new procurement criteria to competitive tendering. This is very effective way to proceed as building-sector procurement is worth 7 mrd euros in Finland per year. This is 1/3 of Finland’s total public procurement budget. Espoo procures contracts by tender that include also used machinery and materials. This means influence at the procurement criteria is significant. HNRY had a market dialogue before the call for offers.The environmental procurement criteria is taken, step-by-step, into to all sectors in Espoo building; infra-, new building-, renovation-, and demolition construction sites. The “Emission free construction sites, public procurement” green deal with Finland’s Ministry of Environment is being implemented by further processing the market situation at co-creation work groups and reported annually. Espoo believes the co-creation is the best way to cut emissions and promote sustainable development – and the fastest way as we are in climate crisis.
