- Moving towards a circular economy
House of Green
On September 5, 2013, the House of Green was inaugurated by H.R.H. Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, the official patron of State of Green.[1] House of Green was a project intended to be a unique visitor and exhibition centre with meeting facilities and a showroom, where Danish businesses, industry organisations, and public institutions could welcome foreign commercial and political decision-makers and introduce them to the Danish competencies within clean-tech.[2]
On February 5, 2019, the House of Green was re-inaugurated by the Crown Prince after a comprehensive modernisation of the centre.[3]
The platform
In 2018, the organisation re-launched the website into a platform, where Danish companies, organizations and authorities within the energy, water, cities and circular economy can present and market their green efforts. The aim of the platform was to create knowledge and relationships between stakeholders working for green and innovative solutions. The scope of the organisation was inherently international, focusing on the possibilities of using Danish cleantech solutions in foreign markets.Шаблон:Citation needed
Historical context
Until the late 1970s, Denmark was almost exclusively dependent on fossil fuels. The 1973 oil crisis and the 1979 energy crisis were wake-up calls for the country, realising the need for diversifying and securing renewable energy sources.Шаблон:Citation needed
COP 15
Between 7th and December 18, 2009, COP15 (also known as the Copenhagen Summit), was held in Copenhagen. State of Green, at the time known as Climate Consortium Denmark, was an integrated part of the official portfolio of activities before, during and after the COP15.
Energy Strategy 2050
In February 2011, Danish government announced its "Energy Strategy 2050" with the aim to be fully independent of fossil fuels by 2050, and a new government repeated the goal in 2015 despite public scepticism.[4]
