“Hävstång Hälsa – systemledning för klimat och social hållbarhet (Hävstång Hälsa – System Leadership for Climate and Social Sustainability) is a research project you’re currently involved in. What’s it all about?
– It’s about sustainable societal development and is a collaborative project between Karlstad Municipality, Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), and CTF. The project focuses on behavioural change for improved health and climate, and we aim to explore how societal structures can be transformed to make health-promoting activities easier – enabling new solutions that benefit the people of Karlstad, with a focus on health and climate.
The project began in January 2025 and is funded by Formas as part of the national research programme for sustainable urban development. It will run until June 2026.
– CTF´s role in the project is to contribute with knowledge about behavioural change and how various factors – such as the urban environment – can support and encourage such change, as well as propose ways to measure it. We’ll be using the Swedish Championships Week (SM-veckan) in 2026 to test and evaluate different solutions in a so-called living lab.
