Renewable energy, water management, and waste recycling are substantial concerns for Denmark. Yale’s 2020 greenest country excelled in almost every indicator of environmental health due to its long history of making significant commitments to improving air quality and safe drinking water.

We at Bride Side are fascinated by the ways Denmark fights environmental issues. That’s why we wanted to share 10 innovations that justify its place among the world’s most sustainable countries.

Concerns about air pollution and climate change turned Copenhagen into the world’s most bike-friendly city. Since 9 out of 10 Danes own a bike, it’s not surprising that in 2018 there were 675,000 bicycles and just 120,000 cars in Copenhagen. Thanks to the network of paths and innovative bridges, Copenhagen is one of the safest places to be a cyclist.

Is your country investing in eco-friendly projects that promote sustainability? What are you as an individual doing to contribute to the fight against climate change?
