In the initial reporting, Katrineholm was named the top performer in the small cities and towns category, ranking 10th overall among 290 municipalities due to efforts such as establishing new wetlands. Eskilstuna secured second place in the larger cities category, credited with systematic climate goal work including construction reuse and electric-powered equipment testing. The report noted that the inclusion of vehicle electrification metrics and changes in transport emissions influenced the rankings.
Subsequent reports identified Tomelilla and Tranås as high performers. Tomelilla rose to 30th place overall and third in the small towns category, supported by a fossil-free vehicle fleet and carbon budgeting. Tranås was named the best environmental rural municipality, recognized for initiatives such as heat recycling, wetland restoration, and food waste reduction.
