strategies and policies

Climate change is a reality. In the years to come, we can expect more extreme weather incidents such as droughts, flooding, storm surges, tornados and rising sea levels. These changes mean that society must adapt within a number of areas.

The strategy is a first of its kind in the world; fully financed, while still taking full account of Danish competitiveness and making sure that the average Danish household will not pay a huge extra bill.
