Sønderborg: the little-known Danish town with a zero carbon master plan #keepitintheground

Denmark joins more than a hundred places around the world making business-friendly zero carbon commitments as they transition away from fossil fuels

Almost completely surrounded by water, the little-known Danish town of Sinderborg is no stranger to flooding from both seawater rising along its coastline and heavy rainfall. With climate change ensuring more of both, Sinderborg is learning to tackle the immediate problems of adapting to a warming world while becoming part of the broader solution.

Its ProjectZero plan, launched in 2007 as a joint venture between the people, politicians and businesses of Sinderborg, aims to enable the town of approximately 77,000 to become zero carbon by 2029.
