The City of Stockholm has adopted a local action program to improve water quality in Strömmen. This program aims to reduce pollution from sediment, traffic, and wastewater, as well as enhance the habitat for aquatic plants and animals. These measures are necessary for Strömmen to meet EU environmental quality standards and are estimated to cost hundreds of millions of kronor, with some actions already having specific cost proposals.

Agenda items
The Moderates proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate digitally sharing solar power between municipal properties and leasing roof space to external actors to increase solar energy use. The Property Management Office views internal digital sharing positively, believing it could reduce electricity costs once new legislation is in place, likely by 2026. However, the office considers leasing roof space to external actors inconsistent with its mandate.
The Real Estate Committee received a referral response regarding the city's new food program, which aims to promote healthy and environmentally friendly food in Stockholm's operations, such as schools and elderly care, and to strengthen the city as a 'food city.' The office supports the program's goals for sustainable food but seeks clarifications on purchasing and staff meals. They also wish to clarify that the impact on restaurants, for example in swimming pools, occurs via lease agreements and not solely through procurement.
The Real Estate Committee has responded to the City Executive Office's proposed action plan to make Stockholm more age-friendly. The plan focuses on five areas, including housing and urban environment, where the Real Estate Committee is responsible for creating safe and accessible public spaces and training staff who interact with the elderly. The committee is positive about the plan but requests clarification on which specific employees will be trained.
The City Auditors investigated how the Real Estate Committee and other companies manage property maintenance, including schools and nursing homes. The audit revealed the Real Estate Committee needs to improve its basis for prioritizing maintenance, gain a comprehensive overview of property needs, and ensure maintenance plans exist for all properties. The Real Estate Committee welcomed the recommendations and will take action, including developing prioritization principles and implementing a new system by 2026 for better maintenance oversight.
The Real Estate Committee approved the 2025 activity report and financial statement, including a SEK 7.8 million re-budget for climate investments. The report highlights successful efforts to reduce energy use and CO2 emissions, such as installing LED lighting in Sköndalshallen and Grimstahallen, alongside a safety improvement project at Bredängs BP to enhance attractiveness and security.
This protocol from Stockholm's Disability Affairs Council addresses several issues regarding accessibility for people with disabilities. Topics include Sweco's report on accessibility in Stockholm's sports halls, the "More in the Stands" project aiming to make events more accessible, and the Real Estate Department's new guidelines for accessibility in construction. The Council emphasizes the importance of involving individuals with lived experience and ensuring that developers comply with new building regulations.
This is a notification for information about a decision that has already been made. The City Council has approved the city's Chemical Plan for 2025-2031, which means all committees and city-owned companies must work in accordance with this plan to reduce the spread of harmful chemicals. The previous plan for 2020-2023 and the action plan for reduced microplastic dissemination are thereby no longer valid.
The Labour Market Committee's Council for Disability Issues has reported on its work, including a 2026 activity plan. This plan focuses on Stockholm being an inclusive employer and improving the transition from education to employment for people with disabilities. The Council advocates for removing discriminatory requirements in job advertisements, increasing individualized support, and is exploring digital meetings to enhance member accessibility.
The Disability Council for Labor Market Issues worked in 2025 to make the City of Stockholm a more inclusive employer, easing the transition from study to work for people with disabilities. The council advised the labor market administration and influenced the budget to ensure accessibility and equal conditions. While progress in knowledge and competence regarding participation is noted, the council emphasizes the need for continued strong focus on resources and collaboration for full integration.
This matter provides an ongoing report to the City Council on decisions made by officials under delegated authority, along with an overview of incoming and initiated cases within the Labour Market Administration. The report covers numerous internal administrative decisions, such as recruitments and procurements, and also informs about activities related to adult education (Komvux), job centers (Jobbtorg Stockholm), summer jobs for youth, and integration matters.
The City of Stockholm proposes a new action plan to become an age-friendly city, aiming to ensure older people have equal rights, can actively participate in society, access relevant services, and counteract ageism. The Labour Market Administration specifically emphasizes including older individuals in the workforce and requests a clearer definition of "older" within the plan.
A motion proposes that the City of Stockholm replace 1,000 summer jobs with "SAO jobs" (study-motivating work-life orientation) for youth by 2026, aiming to provide more meaningful, long-term labor market integration through business collaboration. The Labour Market Administration finds SAO jobs interesting but believes they fall under the Education Administration's purview and that the proposed 2026 timeline for converting summer jobs is unfeasible.
The City of Stockholm is developing a new food program, "Good food for health, climate, and environment," to ensure meals in municipal operations like schools and elderly care are healthy, climate-friendly, and environmentally sound. This program will also help residents make sustainable and healthy food choices and strengthen the city's food supply during crises.
The City of Stockholm reported on its 2025 efforts to support over 8,300 young people under 20 who are not in or have not completed high school. The municipality successfully reached over 3,000 of them with support and interventions. Of those assisted, 58 percent resumed their studies, marking the highest number since 2011.
The City of Stockholm has appointed a jury for the 2026 Nelson Mandela Prize, which awards 100,000 SEK to initiatives that promote integration and create meeting places between new and established Stockholmers. The proposed jury includes the chair and vice-chair of the labor market committee, along with representatives from IBM, Familjebostäder, Föreningen Midsommargården, Miljöverkstaden Flaten, and Rädda Barnen. Residents can nominate candidates for the prize via the city's website between March 1st and 22nd.
The Labour Market Committee has submitted its 2025 activity report, detailing efforts to help more Stockholmers find jobs and education. Despite high unemployment, over 9,200 individuals, many on social assistance or with disabilities, received support via Jobbtorg Stockholm, and a record 11,700 young people secured summer jobs. The report also highlights expanded adult education and preparations for new laws aimed at increasing self-sufficiency.
The City Council has decided on several new guidelines for Stockholm's municipal companies. These include a chemical plan for a toxic-free Stockholm, a business policy to improve the business climate, guidelines for designing better preschool and schoolyards, an action plan for housing supply, and new guidelines for mobility and parking in new construction to promote sustainable travel and reduce private car use in the city.
Stockholms Stadshus AB is updating its internal rules for who can approve purchases and payments, and the amounts they can handle. This is being done to ensure invoices and salaries are managed correctly and securely, especially following changes in the company's management. The changes aim to improve internal control and reduce the risk of incorrect payments.
The Municipal Executive Board proposes changes to Stockholmsmässan's articles of association. These are mainly administrative, clarifying the company's purpose to adhere to municipal principles, allowing for the engagement of an audit firm instead of a named auditor, and modernizing the language. These updates, similar to those made to other municipal companies in 2024, are not expected to affect Stockholmsmässan's current operations.
