The small town from southern Sweden is the only Swedish municipality invited to the United Nations climate conference in Glasgow. Mariestad will be an active participant with a rich programme with international and regional partners during its three-day-long visit and will show how small towns have opportunities to make an impact in the transition. “It is absolutely fantastic that a small municipality gets the opportunity to be involved and show examples of industrial renewal and sustainable development. Electrivillage has put us on the international map ", said Susanné Wallner Business Manager for Mariestad Municipality. Mariestad Municipality will have a delegation in Glasgow consisting of the Johan Abrahamsson Chairman of the Municipal Executive Board, Susanné Wallner Business Manager and Development Manager Jonas Johansson. Mariestad has been designated by Unesco to be a model area of sustainability (Biosphere). ElectriVillage is a venture that involves testing and demonstration of sustainable transport and energy systems in the model area. Recently Mariestad joined the "Viable cities" initiative, 23 Swedish cities working together to become climate-neutral and sustainable cities.
