The project contributes to regional and municipal cooperation around sustainable wind power planning, with focus on municipal comprehensive planning.

Develop innovative strategies to support sustainable development in urban and peri-urban areas.

Life cycle impacts from buildings are responsible for a high share of the climate impact globally. In recent years, it is increasingly acknowledged that climate impacts associated with the construction stage of buildings is responsible for a high share of total impacts. In this project international collaboration and harmonization aim to speed up mitigation measures for buildings through the application of LCA in policy and practice.

Planning support for sustainable urban development - LEAM Stockholm: The Land Evolution and impact Assessment Model (LEAM) Stockholm is a simulation laboratory for the development of the Stockholm Region.

Role of technologies in an energy efficient economy – model-based analysis of policy measures and transformation pathways to a sustainable energy system.

The main objective is effective generation of sustainable and renewable energy through forest biomass feedstock.

Population growth and urbanization has led to an increase in resource intensive and energy rich foods, where the public sector accounts for a large share of food consumption. This research project analyses the criteria that can be used in public procurement to influence sustainability of food consumption and production.
