In this episode, we speak with Mark Watts from the C40 network, Sophie Hæstorp Andersen, Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, Pelle Bournonville from Realdania, and Louise Koch from Grundfos. Together, we explore how cities are taking the lead in the race to net-zero. Today, cities are home to over half of the world’s population and are responsible for 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. As they increasingly grapple with the adverse effects of climate breakdown, they represent a critical unit to mobilise...

In this episode, we explore why it is not just imperative, but also lucrative to invest in the global green transition.  It’s not news that the world urgently needs to transform energy systems and reduce CO2 emissions, increase climate resilience and protect biodiversity to secure a sustainable and liveable planet. What is sometimes forgotten though, is that these needs come with an initial hefty price tag.  Download our free publication on green financing to learn more:...

In this episode, we explore why green hydrogen and power-to-x is a natural next step in the journey towards a future powered by renewable energy. There’s no doubt that renewable energy has been and continues to be our most important vehicle in the global green transition. Around the world, wind turbines and solar cells are increasingly powering our everyday lives - from heat pumps to electric vehicles, the need for clean energy is on the rise now more than ever. But as we’ve touched upon...

50 years ago, the late Prince Henrik of Denmark inaugurated the Danish extraction of oil and gas from the North Sea. 50 years later, on the 8th of March 2023, his son, Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, took part in reversing the traffic in the pipelines in a greener direction. He sent the first ever CO2 down the pipes to be stored underground, marking the beginning of a new business adventure in the global green transition. Find more information in our publication:...

Buildings are the spatial foundation of our daily lives. They are our homes, workspaces, schools, hospitals and serve many other human needs and purposes. But buildings are also one of the largest global consumers of energy. They account for a staggering 40% of global energy consumption and are responsible for about 30% of global CO2 emissions. As such, it is imperative that we make both the existing building stock and future buildings energy efficient. And if we do it right, the green...

Denmark has successfully engaged in public-private climate action for decades, and in 2019, it was taken to new heights with a project that has been dubbed the greatest green brainstorm in the nation’s history. In this episode, we explore how the public and private sector can work together to supercharge the green transition.

Growing urbanization and climate change create complex risks for our cities, making them hotspots for water crises. In this episode, we explore how urban water management can build more resilient and liveable cities.

In each episode, we invite experts and stakeholders to convey Danish perspectives on a given challenge of the global green transition. Through decades of experience, Denmark has turned many of these challenges into opportunities. By sharing these experiences, we hope to help you do the same.
