Connectivity
Connectivity technology is quickly becoming the beating heart of the global economy, and can also hold potential for good. Innovative solutions can enable significant emissions reductions across sectors, as well as improve climate change adaptation, but the risks of e-waste and rising energy consumption must also be addressed.

"If it was easy, we would have done it. This is hard, so we need to do it together."
Pelle Lind Bournonville Head of Projects Realdania
The Klima100 publication
The 100 projects help municipalities adapt to and mitigate against climate change, ranging from energy efficiency measures and nature conservation to flood protection and ambitious climate plans that show the way to a fossil free future. Klima100 guides from the wind-blown coasts through the creeks and streams to solar parks and recycling centers, through the narrow streets and wide boulevards to the patios and backyards.
Klima100 proves that the green transition can happen on all levels, and that the municipalities have a crucial role to play in creating Denmark’s green future.
Ocean transport
Ocean transport
International trade relies on shipping, and despite technological improvements, emissions continue to increase as trade increases. Decarbonising short-haul shipping is an expanding market opportunity driven by developments in battery technology and alternative fuels, with the potential to help the sector’s low-carbon transition.
