In April 2024, Climate Neutral Aarhus 2030 was signed by a broad majority in the Aarhus City Council. Central to the agreement was the reaffirmation of the objective that the city of Aarhus and the surrounding area must be CO2 neutral in 2030, and that the City Council must take responsibility for reducing the most significant consumption-based emissions. 

 

Aarhus’ Climate City Contract demonstrates a path to achieve its high ambitions based on international standards through concrete action and joins a small group of municipalities in the world that continue to aim for CO2 neutrality in 2030. Together, we have reduced our emissions by 55% over the past 16 years (since 2008). We have achieved several of our climate goals, but there is still a long way to go. In the process, we have learned where the challenges are most significant, and which changes are required.

 

In cooperation with the city's citizens, Aarhus City Council has set a common framework for the municipality's development, which secures that Aarhus continues to be a good city for everyone. The framework is referred to as the Aarhus Goals. The Aarhus Goals are a framework for urban development and constitute the benchmark for Aarhus’ green transition and contribute to ensuring a just transition.

CO-SHaping Areas in Peri-urban Environments - Aarhus pilot activity

As cities expand into peri-urban areas, balancing renewable energy deployment with local liveability becomes increasingly urgent. CO-SHAPE develops a co-creation model for planning Energy Park Spørring — a 1,000 ha site integrating solar, biogas, biochar, and sustainable agriculture. By involving communities, developers, and planners from the start, Aarhus aims to pioneer inclusive governance and landscape-based climate solutions replicable across similar regions. Year 1 delivered both engagement and institutional transformation. Over 10 public activities mobilised residents to co-develop visions for the Energy Park, including a landmark visioning event with over 100 participants from local communities, businesses, and city agencies. But the deeper achievement was elevating the Comprehensive Planning methodology from a pilot approach to a core method in Aarhus' 2026 Municipal Plan — meaning the governance innovation will outlast the project. When private developers withdrew due to energy market volatility, the city pivoted to institutional readiness.
