Embarking on our third sustainability delegation to Europe, we took our first visit to Switzerland. Our week-long delegation focused on uncovering the strategies several Swiss cities (Zurich, Berne, Basel, Lausanne) employ to foster sustainable innovation, champion circular economy principles, and collaboratively shape thriving, livable communities. Read the full recap and our main takeaways!

Embarking on our second Sustainability Delegation to Scandinavia, we once again set our sights on the vibrant cities of Copenhagen, Denmark, and Malmö, Sweden. This year, our focus remained on uncovering the strategies these urban centers employ to foster sustainable innovation, champion circular economy principles, and collaboratively shape thriving, livable communities.

Our first United States Sustainability Delegation to Europe led us to Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden to explore how organizations in these cities cultivate spaces for sustainable innovation, advance circularity, and co-create healthy, livable communities. Our delegation of 19 professionals from ten states — representing various industries, including architecture, public policy, deconstruction, education, urban farming, and more — explored how Scandinavian cities are pushing green and social innovation. The seven-day program took place from April 14 to 21, 2024.
