Welcome to season 5 of How Could We?.

This series will be exploring cities' transformation and discussing why cities play such a key role in tackling climate change.

Our guests for this episode are Sissel Knutsen Hegdal, mayor of Norwegian city Stavanger and Thomas Osdoba, EIT Climate-KIC Senior Cities Advisor and Director of the NetZeroCities Programme.

In this episode, we discuss how Stavanger's actions to achieve net zero emissions provide concrete examples of municipal climate action, how the NetZeroCities Programme can serve as a model for ambitious cities worldwide and what are the best practices to foster collaboration between different levels of government and stakeholders in city climate governance.
