Stories from Denmark’s green transition

Denmark’s green transition holds many stories of being faced with a challenge and choosing to see and, crucially, act on its potential for sustainable change. And we felt that they deserved to be told by those, who live them.

That’s why we have created Sound of Green.

Each episode, we shed light on a given global challenge that Denmark has turned into an opportunity for fostering green solutions.

We do so by inviting experts, solution providers and action takers to share their knowledge and experiences as inspiration.

Conveyed in a short, accessible format, Sound of Green is for anyone who is curious about how Denmark approaches climate action.

You can find all episodes below or on your favorite podcast app.
