Denmark has passed a new Climate Act that commits the country to reducing its carbon dioxide emissions by 70% by 2030. The Act includes a number of measures to promote renewable energy, energy efficiency, and electric vehicles.

Renewable energy

The Act sets a target of generating 100% of Denmark's electricity from renewable sources by 2030. This will be achieved through a combination of onshore and offshore wind farms, solar panels, and other renewable energy technologies.

Energy efficiency

The Act also includes measures to improve energy efficiency in buildings, industry, and transport. This will be achieved through a combination of building codes, energy efficiency standards, and financial incentives.

Electric vehicles

The Act sets a target of having 1 million electric vehicles on the road in Denmark by 2030. This will be achieved through a combination of financial incentives, charging infrastructure development, and public awareness campaigns.

The Climate Act is a significant step forward for Denmark in its efforts to combat climate change. The Act is expected to create jobs, reduce air pollution, and improve the country's energy security.
