Sustainable Development

Form/Design Center works long-term with sustainability within the framework of a designed living environment. Through special expertise and a wide network of contacts, we highlight the subject from several different perspectives. With a focus on cross-sectoral collaboration, our development projects contribute with forward-looking knowledge that strengthens the conditions for the UN's global sustainability goals. Skåne's unique position as part of a transnational region also opens for valuable international exchanges where we, as a node, play an important role in the forthcoming transition.

SUSTAINORDIC

SUSTAINORDIC är en plattform som drivs av Form/Design Center med syfte att utifrån ett nordiskt perspektiv främja hållbara städer och samhällen, samt hållbar konsumtion och produktion i enlighet med FN:s globala mål 11 och 12 i Agenda 2030.

Under 2022–2024 kommer SUSTAINORDIC att fokusera på hållbara materialval och arkitektur, som del i en nordisk satsning för att stärka hållbart och konkurrenskraftigt byggande. Programmets partners kommer från hela Norden och kommer att samarbeta för att utföra arbetet med fem arbetspaket där SUSTAINORDIC är ansvariga för arbetspaket tre.
