About the city
Stockholm is the birthplace of the Fridays for Future movement as well as other active youth organizations and groups within the environmental and climate movement. The youth movement for climate action has been growing steadily in the last few years through various initiatives, demonstrations and strikes,, but has been lacking a well-needed physical meeting place. Ever since the first award for the sustainable city of the year in Europe went to Stockholm in 2010, the city has a reputation of being in the forefront of environmental awareness.
