Welcome to Fossil Free Future Denmark!

What is the purpose of the movement?

• 1. To dispel the myth of Denmark as a “climate utopia” once and for all

  Denmark has long enjoyed a reputation as a green pioneer, and politicians have been eager to flaunt this image to the rest of the world.
  
  This is just a smokescreen to hide the truth!
  
  The truth is that the Danish state is refusing to take any steps to prevent the fossil fuel industry from expanding in the Danish North Sea for decades to come.
  
  

• 2. To call attention to the global oil and gas operators in the Danish North Sea

  The Danish part of the North Sea is swarming with global oil and gas companies, some of which seek to increase their climate-adverse activities despite Denmark’s extensive legislative frameworks and commitments to combat climate change.
  
  The interests of fossil fuel corporations cannot be permitted to override climate and environmental considerations!
  
  

• 3. To shine a light on the EU’s fossil fuel policy

  With the 2024 EU Parliament election right around the corner, it’s important to have as many candidates fighting for a fossil-free future as possible in the EU Parliament.
  
  Accordingly, we seek to put pressure on Danish MEP candidates and compel them to fight for a pan-European end date for fossil fuel subsidies in Europe!
