Winner announcement 2024

The transition to a climate-positive world demands significant societal changes in a short period. This entails an increased risk of uncertainty, conflicts, and resistance. To succeed, it is crucial that these changes are perceived as inclusive and just.

WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award, Urban Futures, Wexsus, and Reväst cordially invite you to a half-day conference and masterclass focused on achieving a fair and inclusive global and local climate transition. Throughout the day, you'll engage in insightful lectures by renowned speakers such as philosopher and author Jonna Bornemark and transformation researcher Per Olsson. Additionally, you'll be the first to learn about the winners of the WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award 2024, with this year's theme being "Inclusive Transition".

Our experts and speakers, including Per and Jonna, will guide us through this enriching session.
