Local solutions, global impact - A story about sub-national climate action

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 the green transition. Yet, amidst these challenges, pioneering cities around the world are forging a path towards a sustainable future for their communities and the planet. And Danish cities and municipalities are making historic contributions to that endeavour.
