Today, the transport sector accounts for approximately 1/5 of Denmark’s CO2 emissions. This is why it is extremely important for this sector to be in focus when the time comes for Denmark to ensure a sustained reduction in CO2 emissions. But as we endeavour to do so, we must not lose sight of the contribution transport makes to the quality of life – connecting people, families and businesses. Denmark’s green transport policy has been formulated with the overall objective of improving mobility while reducing transport-related CO2 emissions in a cost effective way. With the establishment of the Centre for Green Transport in the Danish Ministry of Transport the intention is to start up some concrete initiatives to reduce transport-related CO2.
