Denmark

Denmark’s national platform, initiated by CONCITO and now coordinated by Local Government Denmark, supports all municipalities in implementing, revising and recertifying their climate action plans on mitigation, adaptation and climate equity. A critical priority is securing long-term anchoring and funding after 2028, as current philanthropic funding from Realdania runs out.

KEY PRIORITIES

• Funding security: Secure funding sources post-2028 through new projects and partnerships.
• Governance dialogue: Strengthen multi-level governance dialogue and the CHAMP agenda.
• Monitoring and revision: Optimise monitoring and support climate action plan revision.

THEMATIC FOCUS

• Funding security post-2028 (LifeACT, philanthropy).
• Multi-level governance dialogue (CHAMP Declaration).
• Monitoring system optimisation (MERL, adaptation data).
• Climate action plan revision support and funding facilitation.

HOW CAPACITIES 2.0 SUPPORTS DENMARK

• Support in gaining recognition and involvement from national authorities.
• Joining forces on outreach beyond the EU to support the global CHAMP agenda.
