Adaptation approaches in Danish municipalities climate action plans
The Climate Alliance of Denmark
Denmark is the first country in the world where nearly all municipalities have created climate action plans that align with the 1.5 degree goal in the Paris Agreement. These plans must now be translated into action. Through the Climate Alliance, Local Government Denmark (KL), Realdania, and the five Danish regions have formed a five-year partnership to contribute to implementation and climate action.
