Cities Delivering Flourishing Lives on a Flourishing Planet: How cities can support flourishing lives for an aging population while avoiding emissions with an expanded climate and innovation agenda
Cities that are innovation leaders are uniquely positioned to move beyond static problem approaches to the climate challenge, where the only goal is territorial emission-reductions. Instead, they can also expand their approach and embrace the role of a solution provider with a focus on human needs. In such a role they focus on delivering flourishing lives while also becoming global solution providers, supporting and exporting innovations that deliver flourishing lives for all on a flourishing planet. This report highlights Umeå as a case study for how mid-sized, agile cities can lead this transformation using Umeå’s world leading work in turning the need for flourishing lives for an aging population into a driver of innovation.
