Rethink Denmark
About the project
Land use is the key to the green transition. We need land for the deployment of land-based wind turbines and solar panels as well as infrastructure for transportation and carbon capture facilities, and the expansion of forests. In addition, we face several other significant societal challenges.
We need to better protect biodiversity, adapt Denmark to climate change and develop and reorganise agriculture and food production. The land use also needs to take human well-being into account. Access to nature and recreational areas improves people's quality of life and their ability to fulfil their potential.
Space is limited and the landscapes are already in use. The future land use must therefore serve multiple purposes at the same time. We need a coherent strategy that ensures that all the right societal objectives are met.
Towards the end of 2024, CONCITO will make a series of sub-analyses on different land uses with data-based impact assessments. These analyses will provide a qualified basis for discussing future land use and CONCITO will hold inclusive and open dialogue meetings to ensure all relevant parties are heard. Ultimately, the goal is to translate the visionary goals into a strategy that leads to concrete action.
