The state tenders for three new offshore wind farms are now open🌊

Two will be located in the North Sea and one in the Kattegat 🗺️

Once built, these projects could more than double Denmark’s current offshore wind capacity➕💯

The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2026 ranking.

The progress in terms of #emissions, #renewables and #climate policy 💚

No country (not one) is doing enough to fully align with the Paris Agreement goals.
Curious about how your country performs? ccpi.org/countries/
Countries must accelerate climate action to align with the Paris Agreement’s temperature limit. Denmark (4th) remains the top-ranked country. It ranks highly in climate policy and is among the only three countries that achieve a very high rating in renewable energies, supported by its leadership in offshore energy. The United Kingdom (5th) follows, climbing one place compared to last year and showing that years of climate policy efforts are paying off. Morocco (6th) scores well across most categories, maintains very low per capita emissions, invests significantly in public transport and has adopted a respectable new climate target for 2035. At the bottom of the ranking are Saudi Arabia (67th), Iran (66th) and the United States (65th). The largest oil- and gas-producing countries show no sign of departing from fossil fuels as a business model and continue to miss the opportunity to embrace the future.

The acceleration of the clean energy transition across Europe offshore wind farms has made offshore wind farms essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring a more sustainable future. In this Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar image, acquired on 15 October 2025, clusters of wind turbines appear as bright, structured formations on the surface of the North Sea, marking the locations of Belgian and Dutch offshore wind farms. Scattered light patterns reveal the presence of ships navigating around these installations. The Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites deliver consistent, high-resolution radar imagery which supports the planning, monitoring, and operational safety of offshore wind farms and maritime environments.

The 100% zero-emission car target by 2035 in the #EU and #UK will require policies and incentives to reach.

Estimates for 2035 show that new #BEV adoption remains uneven according to below #map!

Data by @leraffl.bsky.social 🔗 leraffl.github.io/LeRaffl-Gall...
From January 1st, 2035, all new passenger cars and vans sold in the EU and UK must have zero tailpipe emissions. The target is to phase-out new petrol and diesel #ICE vehicles, including all versions of hybrids. The map indicates the estimated transition status by 2035 based on statistics and the current (as of Oct. 2025) national-level policies and incentives. Reaching 100% electric cars and vans in 2035 is feasible.

400.000 fossilbiler er nu væk fra de danske veje – og elbilerne overtager 🚗 🔌
Ca. 150.000 benzinbiler og 250.000 dieselbiler er forsvundet fra den danske bilpark siden 2020.
Til gengæld er der kommet 475.000 elbiler og 106.000 plug-in hybrider.

Great charts 🙏

Based on the charts by @electric-nick.bsky.social and @leraffl.bsky.social, I thought it would be fun to create a #map in the nice @landgeist.bsky.social format.

Back in 2020 the Danish parliament set a bold target aiming to replace a minimum of one million fossil fuel #ICE cars with BEVs by 2030 (approx. 1/3 of the fleet).

As of September 2025 this is the number of #BEV 🔋🚘 passenger cars in #Denmark and their share (in %) of the fleet.

Aalborg, Denmark’s fourth-largest city, blends urban life with ecological awareness. Surrounded by a mosaic of agricultural land, parks, and bodies of water, the area supports diverse ecosystems which benefit from sustainable urban planning and environmental monitoring. The city is also home to over 15 space- and satellite-related companies, positioning northern Denmark as one of the world’s foremost hubs for space innovation and commercialisation. This Copernicus Sentinel-2 image, acquired on 20 September 2025, shows Aalborg’s urban landscape in close connection with its surrounding natural features. Vegetation appears in bright green, while the deep blue of the Limfjord and the artificial lake to the east highlight important ecological and recreational features. Aalborg will host the Space Conference 2025 on 20-21 October 2025, organised by Aalborg University and the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science, as part of the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU. The event will bring together leaders from the EU space industry and the research community to discuss sustainability, autonomy, and competitiveness in space.
