City of Copenhagen

Copenhagen has an ambition to become the first carbon neutral capital in 2025.

The goal is supported by a municipal strategic climate action plan where 50 initiatives are rolled out to meet the 2015 midterm goal of a 20 % CO-2 reduction.

The key challenge for many cities is to achieve an environmental as well as financial balance when working towards a sustainable growth in the city. And Copenhagen is in a strong position to succeed in this competition.

We aim to rise to a position where new and international green innovative technologies and solutions are tested and demonstrated in Copenhagen before they are used on a larger scale in other cities around the world. We want to be a green lab for the sustainable urban solutions of tomorrow.

Not only does Copenhagen have a solid track record of implementing green solutions on a large urban scale. In Copenhagen urban green solutions are not confined to show-rooms and exhibition halls. They are already implemented in large scale in the city, used by everyday people, and have had significant effects on CO-2 emissions, and city liveability.

The platform is set for Global challenges - Copenhagen solutions.
