Sustainable Copenhagen

Copenhagen is a frontrunner when it comes to adopting sustainable solutions and the city has one of the world's most ambitious climate policies - with a goal of being the first carbon-neutral capital city by 2025.

Upon arrival to Copenhagen Airport, you cannot escape noticing the off-shore park of wind-turbines. They serve as a constant reminder of the city’s commitment to sustainability.
