Climate action at Royal Danish Library

In collaboration with the Danish Ministry of Culture, it was decided in the latest framework agreement that sustainability must run as a common thread in the library's overall strategy. It has been decided that the work with sustainability should concentrate on climate action, which is why we have launched the library's first strategy on the subject, "Climate Strategy: A Greener Library".

The strategy runs until 2025 and sets a vision that the library's operation in 2050 is climate neutral. The climate strategy also sets out four overall action areas and thus provides a framework for the work on the way to climate neutrality.
