Denmark: Government Introduces Climate Action Plan for Agriculture

On April 28, 2021, the Danish government announced its intention to cut carbon dioxide emissions from agriculture by 7.1 million tons by 2030 through increased spending on green farming technologies. The Danish government also proposes a partial ban on farming on peat soils (through which carbon is being emitted). Denmark’s Social Democrat government plans to reduce carbon emissions by 70 percent in 2030 (compared to 1990 levels), going beyond the 55 percent target agreed to by European Union Member States.
