It is based on the Climate Action Planning Framework (CAPF) created by the C40 cities network and adapted to the Danish context. It has successfully engaged Danish municipalities, who have politically committed to develop, approve and implement climate action plans in full compliance with the Paris Agreement ambitions.

Formulating strategy in a world of interconnected, fast-evolving crises is a challenge. How do you balance immediate needs with long-term goals?

There is need for a more holistic approach to address the interests of both today’s and tomorrow’s generations.
