SUSTAINABILITY

In northern Sweden, sustainability isn't just a goal; it's a reality being shaped by groundbreaking projects like the Green Flight Academy, the Wood Hotel, and Northvolt's gigafactory. With a focus on sustainable tourism, Skellefteå has transformed into a hub of innovation, where fossil-free airports, electric planes, and eco-friendly construction lead the way. These initiatives reflect a community-wide commitment to sustainability, offering visitors a glimpse into a future where green living isn't just possible—it's already happening.

Northern Sweden is pushing the limits of sustainability. Here’s how.

When it comes to sustainable tourism in northern Sweden, there’s one guiding principle: If you build it, they will come.

Eastern Germany's sustainability focused tourism is flourishing, with eco-resorts like Biostadt Schmilka leading the way. Once an abandoned village, it now thrives as a certified "bio" resort, conserving natural resources and promoting organic living. Across the region, sustainability is integrated into all aspects of tourism, from compost heating at work retreats like Coconat to the natural life cycle education at Harz National Park. This green movement is not just a trend but a deeply rooted approach, making sustainability selbstverständlich – a natural, expected part of life in this region.

The Biostadt Schmilka, a sustainable resort on the bank of the Elbe river near the Czech border, looks like every other German village. There’s a Gasthaus and homes with immaculate gardens and fruit trees, and the river with colorful kayaks floating downstream.
