Norrköping municipality (item 11 och 12, 4a and 4d; 13; Annex 1 § A:1a)

• Decision on ”ecosystem services” integration

• Comprised a group with various sectors of

civil servants

• Workshop on ecosystem services and

methods to integrate in and between different

sectors

• Emphazised that they in next step need to

invite actors in the municipality (but not

employed)

• Gains: happy to discuss and meet

Eskilstuna Resilience assessement

TEEB in 3 Nordic municipalities

County board Västra Götaland (item 11 och 12, Annex 1 § A:1a and A:1f)

Main points:

1. ecosystem services =

multifunctionality

2. participation ==== action

3. importance of safe space

Final reflections….

• Learning processes involving stakeholders and

actors might seem slow and not so decisive.

• But it builds the ground for transformational

change of our societies that we need.

• It is democratic and trust building, which in turn

is an important quality for resilience.

Thank you for your attention!
