Some of the commission and research projects we have been working on in 2020 and how we have integrated Agenda 2030
AquaVitae: Sustainable aquaculture around the Atlantic Ocean Aquaculture is currently limited to a small number of species that are in high demand. Greater diversity and stronger stocks are required in order to reduce vulnerability to diseases. IVL’s researchers will develop techniques for growing both native oysters as well as the alien Pacific oyster as part of a transatlantic EU project.

SDG 13: 13.2
How do we increase the reuse of construction and demolition waste from households? The project Resource bank: Increasing reuse of household construction and demolition waste is focusing on key factors in order to increase the reuse of construction materials. The project aims to promote the increased reuse of construction and demolition materials.
SDG 11:11.6
Digitalised environmental and climate requirements throughout the procurement chain In order to satisfy the upcoming legal requirements regarding climate declarations for new constructions in 2022, we are developing digital support in this project that will make the work easier for the construction sector. The project is a collaboration between IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, Sustainable Innovation, Allmännyttans Inköpscentral HBV and Ettelva Arkitekter. SDG 12: 12.1
Smart City Sweden – Sweden’s export platform for sustainable cities Smart City Sweden is aiming to increase exports of Swedish solutions and innovations within sustainable cities. By highlighting companies and good examples from Sweden, and by receiving visitors in six locations around the country, Smart City Sweden is helping to spread knowledge about Swedish solutions and, at the same time, helping other countries achieve the goals laid down within the framework of Agenda 2030.
