As of 2020, Denmark has taken the top spot in the Environmental Performance Index (EPI), showing its leadership in climate change issues, such as ensuring clean drinking water and air quality, sustainable waste management, and sanitation. While Denmark’s cutting-edge policies are advancing the country’s sustainability efforts on a global scale, the effort to go green is ever-present in the day-to-day activities of the citizen. As a tourist, you can also easily contribute to making the planet a safer and cleaner space for all by choosing more sustainable options on your travels.

Sustainable in Denmark | Public Tansportation

Renting a car when travelling to a new destination is a popular choice among tourists. Still, when a country has such a developed rail, metro, bus, and ferry infrastructure, it is easy to enjoy your trip hassle-free and protect the planet simultaneously. Figuring out public transportation in all of Denmark is extra easy by using the journey-planning app Rejseplanen.

Sustainable in Denmark | Cycling

In 2019, Copenhagen was named the most bicycle-friendly city in the world for a good reason. The combination of the advanced and well-designed cycling infrastructure and the country’s flat landscape makes cycling less of a workout and more of a pleasurable sightseeing activity and a convenient mode of transportation. Moreover, renting a bike is only a few phone clicks away, with bike-rental services such as the Donkey Republic and Bycyklen making the process foolproof.
