  • global syd mobilitet
    Today, transport systems and mobility patterns of the world are in stark conflict with the global goals for climate and sustainable development. The challenges are most severe in many Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) who therefore need substantial help and investments to provide efficient, sustainable, low carbon and resilient infrastructure and transport services for their citizens and businesses.

    The so-called green tripartite agreement sets a direction for the green transition of Danish agriculture and designates more land for nature. However, the climate tax, which is crucial for reducing emissions, is disappointingly low and will not ensure a rapid climate-friendly transition in agriculture.

    The global food system must demand significantly more sustainable food, increase efficiency, and take much greater care of nature and biodiversity. Only in this way can the food system contribute positively to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals on climate, nature, and health. This is highlighted in a new UN report, which concludes that many new initiatives and technologies are needed to achieve all the targets.

    Last fall, a group of international top scientists presented the latest update on the status of the “planetary boundaries” (Richardson et al., 2023), concluding that we have now exceeded six out of the nine boundaries that collectively maintain a stable Earth system. The planetary boundaries present a scientific health check for climate, biodiversity, marine environment, and a range of other biophysical systems that together support life on Earth.

The findings highlight crucial insights into the reform's limited effectiveness in advancing environmental, climate, and biodiversity goals in its first year.

  • tøj på en knage
    Danish wardrobes, in particular, must downsize and last longer to affect a substantial reduction in the climate and ecological impacts stemming from our consumption of clothes and the textile industry in general. This is concluded by CONCITO in a recent analysis, which further reveals a twofold increase in global textile demand over the past three decades, a trend notably predicated in affluent nations such as Denmark.

    Brussels – Clean Air Task Force (CATF) and Danish think tank CONCITO announce a collaborative project aimed at contributing to a climate-proof, effective, and knowledge-based development of emissions trading in the European Union (EU). The project comes at a crucial juncture as the EU strives to achieve its ambition of becoming climate neutral by 2050.

  • klimatilpasning oversvømmelse
    29 percent of the Danish area, and thus more than 440,000 year-round homes and almost 160,000 holiday homes, are already potentially affected by water from various forms of extreme weather - storm surges, heavy or prolonged downpours and rising groundwater. Such weather events will become more frequent and severe in the future. A new analysis from CONCITO suggests that the landscape, and the way we use it, is an important piece of the puzzle in dealing with tomorrow's wilder climate.

    The climate impact of fish has been more than halved in the new version of CONCITO’s Big Climate Database and is now on the same level as the climate impact of pork and chicken. The climate database contains data on the climate impact of more than 500 different food products and is used by both professional food actors as well as households, to promote a more climate friendly food consumption.

    Dubai concluded with an agreement signaling the beginning of the end for fossil fuels. While this rightfully captured global attention, not everyone may have noticed a significant breakthrough in the global stage of COP negotiations: for the first time in the 28 years these summits have taken place, local climate efforts in municipalities and cities were included in the talks.
