Danish NECP
In 2020 Denmark agreed on a national target of 70% reduction in 2030, which is more ambitious than EU requirements for Denmark; far more ambitious than the Danish NECP submitted in 2019; and more ambitious than the government currently knows how to achieve.The fact that the Danish target is higher than what the EU requires of Denmark result in the Danish government being more positive towards increased EU climate and energy ambition.
