About CONCITO:
CONCITO is Denmark's green think tank. Our goal is to contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and limit the consequences of global warming. CONCITO means "I set in motion" in Latin, and that is what we aim to do in terms of climate action. We are one of Denmark's largest green networks with over 125 companies, researchers, organizations, and individuals as members. We believe that climate policy goals can only be achieved through a new partnership between politicians, the business community, and citizens – state, market, and civil society. Therefore, all sectors are represented in our think tank. We believe that climate problems must be solved internationally, but Denmark and the Nordic countries should take the lead.
