Copenhagen intends to be among the first cities to become CO2 neutral by 2030. The city’s Climate City Contract is first and foremost based on those elements of the current CPH 2025 Climate Action plan that are expected to be continued towards 2030 but will also anticipate the overall goals and initiatives of the upcoming Climate Action 2035 plan that are currently being prepared. 

 

The CPH 2025 Climate Action plan had an overall goal of reaching climate neutrality by 2025. Although emissions have be reduced considerably since the onset of the plan, the city faced technical and financial restrictions. Therefore, the city’s Climate City Contract is based primarily on approved and key delayed initiatives from the CPH 2025 Climate Action plan, lessons learnt during the implementation of the current plan, and a provisional description of main initiatives assumed to be included in the Climate Action 2035 plan.
