Europe's most sustainable Capital of Culture project promotes responsible event organisation in Northern Ostrobothnia and provides an effective platform for piloting low-carbon solutions. The project helps events organised in Oulu and Northern Ostrobothnia to reduce their carbon emissions. It is also being used to demonstrate the city's environmental credentials in Oulu's bid for the title of European Capital of Culture. The project offers new cross-sectoral opportunities for cooperation and in business activities in the sustainable economy. There is a growing basis for the sustainable economy in new innovations, whose piloting receives financial support under this project.
The project defines a model aimed at reducing the carbon footprint, to which events that are part of Oulu's Capital of Culture application are also committed. The results of the project will be published in "Oulu 2026: the home of events that make the world a better place. Guide to sustainable events".
Project duration: 01.08 – 31.05.2022 Budget: EUR 615 000.
