SUSTAINABLE CITIES/Copenhagen - CPH Climate Plan 2025

The Climate Plan is organised around four pillars: energy consumption, energy, mobility, and city administration. Wind farms, citywide efficient heating systems, energy efficiency, and the development of public transportation networks and bike routes are some of the initiatives in the works to bring Copenhagen closer to its carbon-neutral goal. The first “bicycle superhighway” – designed to connect outer districts and suburbs to the city centre – opened this year, with 26 more set to be developed over the coming years. The city also aims to make district heating and cooling carbon neutral, and recently opened its first district cooling plant, using seawater, and plans as many as seven over the master plan period to meet the city’s growing need for air conditioning.
