The relatively short time frame – combined with the high level of ambition – created a sense of urgency to act.

The experience from Denmark
In the example of the Danish Climate Partnerships, the trade associations played a significant role, functioning as secretariats for all the climate partnerships. They also provided advice to the government in the process of appointing chairpersons.
Co-creation of recommendations
When developing the recommendations, it is key to collaborate across the entire ecosystem and include as many relevant voices as possible. Note that not all stakeholders will have equal influence or interest in the partnership. For that reason, it is important to separate the identified stakeholders into groups, so that an approach to set and manage their expectations can be developed.
GHG Protocol
The GHG Protocol establishes comprehensive global standardised frameworks to measure and manage greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from private and public sector operations, value chains and mitigation actions.
95% reduction in the energy and utilities sector by 2030
The Danish Climate Partnership for Energy and Utilities exceeded the government’s ambitions and identified reductions of 95 percent . This was achieved by working across the energy sector, co-creating, and focusing on innovative technologies.
