DK2020 helps Danish municipalities align climate strategies with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target. Supported by regions, it promotes Climate Action Plans (CAPs) focused on neutrality by 2050, adaptation, social inclusion, and governance. All municipalities now have CAPs, collectively aiming for a 76% emission reduction by 2030.
Projects like Klimaalliancen and LIFE ACT drive implementation and capacity building, while participatory approaches ensure inclusivity. Challenges remain in resources and coordination, highlighting the need for multi-level governance to align local and national efforts for sustainable climate action.
