Tampere City
City of Sustainable Action 2022
Insights of the Report
The VLR has been prepared by compiling assessments, reports and plans describing Tampere city’s recent activities in relation to the SDGs. The diverse monitoring data collected by the city has also been extensively utilised in the work. The material has been examined in relation to both the SDGs and their sub-targets. The scope of the examination is limited to the City of Tampere Group’s own operations. The VLR has been prepared as a follow-up to the city’s strategy work carried out in 2021. Strategy work was an inclusive process based on diverse information about operating environments and futures knowledge, in which the city’s residents, personnel and stakeholders were extensively involved. Tampere’s first VLR does not seek to review the SDGs in detail, but aims to serve as a starting point for strengthening the broad understanding and the global, intergenerational perspective of sustainable development within the City of Tampere Group.
