Copenhagen

Copenhagen, Denmark's capital, is regarded as one of Europe's greenest cities by independent private groups as well as the European Commission, which granted it the European Green Capital title. However, it lags far behind Ljubljana in terms of the number of green areas available to the people (up to three times greater per inhabitant) in Ljubljana than in Copenhagen. Renewable energy contributes to the energy supply for over 100 district heating networks in Denmark, including Copenhagen. Copenhagen derives considerably over half of its energy from renewable sources, mostly wind energy, with minor contributions from biomass (including waste-to-energy systems and biogas generation) and solar (solar PV, solar thermal).


On especially windy days, energy from wind farms and other renewable energy sources meets the majority of Copenhagen's electrical demands. As of 2017, Copenhagen International School has the world's biggest solar façade designed for a building. The school also boasts a number of energy-saving technology and passive building characteristics. Copenhagen is ranked second among places with the happiest people in the world, after only Bern in Switzerland. During your visit to Copenhagen, you will be spoiled for choice among the city's many parks, botanical gardens, and landscaped and flower-filled cemeteries. Don't miss a quick journey to "The Deer Park" in Dyrehaven, distant from city lights and traffic noise.
