We collaborate
Developing strategies for furhter environmental development in collaboration with business organisations, the County Administrative Board and other authorities, the universities, the 49 municipalities, NGO:s and many others, is a vital role for Region Västra Götaland.
We support environment development projects
Supporting local and other initiatives that aim for sustainable development in Västra Götaland is important. For instance, financing projects and participating in different networks for environment and public health and environmental business development are main roles.
Four priority task areas were chosen among our regional contacts and networks for us to start with:
- food
- energy
- transport
- water
We let our internal environmental work be part of the development
Region Västra Götaland has 50.000 employees in several large hospitals, in dental and primary health care, in public transport, education, in care of real estate, and in other fields. The Region as a large organisation has a responsibility to set a good example but also to act as forerunners.
