Cities are at the heart of climate action. The European Commission notes that urban areas both feel the impacts of climate change, like heatwaves and flooding, and generate most of today\u2019s emissions, especially from transport and buildings. Because of this, local authorities play a key role in Europe\u2019s shift toward climate\u2011neutral and climate\u2011resilient communities. (European Commission 2026.) The United Nations Environment Programme adds that cities are not only exposed to these growing pressures but also have strong potential to drive a change. Many are already reducing emissions by adopting cleaner energy, improving efficiency and planning for more sustainable urban living \u2013 all essential steps in tackling the climate challenges ahead. (UNEP 2025.) Together, these perspectives show why strengthening local climate work, such as climate councils, citizen initiatives and municipal climate plans, does matter. Real progress happens closely to people, where everyday choices and local decisions impact a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insights from Hiller\u00f8d Climate Council<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Local climate work has become central to Denmark\u2019s green transition. During the CLIBUS 2nd Interregional meeting in Hiller\u00f8d in March 2026, Oscar Brix Pedersen shared how a diverse group of citizens, experts and stakeholders works together to push local climate ambition forward. Their experience offers valuable lessons not only for the CLIBUS partners, but for municipalities everywhere working with multi-level governance. Since 2019, Petersen has been an active member of the Green Youth Movement, a Danish youth\u2011led climate organization that participates in environmental and sustainability initiatives. His activism led him to join the Hiller\u00f8d Climate Council. Currently, he acts as a vice-chair of the council and represents youth perspectives in local climate\u2011related decision\u2011making. (Pedersen 2026.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A local council can act where national bodies can\u2019t, closer to communities, better connected to local stakeholders, and more aware of the specific climate potential and opportunities within the municipality (Pedersen 2026). The council was established in 2023 as part of Denmark\u2019s DK2020 initiative. DK2020 is a nationwide effort where nearly every municipality developed a climate aligned with the Paris Agreement\u2019s 1.5\u00b0C goal, using adapted C40 standards (European Committee of the Regions 2026). Hiller\u00f8d\u2019s plan targets a 64 per cent emissions reduction by 2030 compared to 2019, supporting Denmark\u2019s goal of climate neutrality by 2050 (Hiller\u00f8d Kommune 2023). As Pedersen (2026) stated, the council monitors closely these targets; recent national reports raise doubts about whether these targets, especially those embedded in consumption and supply chains, can realistically be met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The council\u2019s members represent the Green Youth Movement, agriculture, nature conservation, utilities, business interests and local organisations. This diversity enables wide-ranging discussions and ensures that climate actions take into account both local realities and long-term sustainability goals. The Climate Council has helped bringing people together \u2013 municipalities, local groups, and businesses, to push forward a greener, more climate\u2011friendly future. It also offers support and advice to politicians and civil servants working on climate initiatives in Hiller\u00f8d, such as the municipality\u2019s climate plan, structured around seven thematic areas such as energy, transport, land use, consumption, adaptation and climate leadership. One of the council\u2019s members, who represents the interests of the companies in Hiller\u00f8d, also acts as regional CLIBUS stakeholders. (Pedersen 2026.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Climate Council has actively engaged in local media and local public debate to create awareness. They have also produced reports with recommendations on transport, energy transition, climate\u2011friendly food, and sustainable building. They also aim to explore new areas such as ESG collaboration with local businesses. (Pedersen 2026.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hiller\u00f8d example shows the values of co-creation and multi-level governance for accelerating local climate action. These are key principles driving CLIBUS – Runway to carbon neutrality \u2013 Involvement of business communities in climate strategies<\/em> project, which helps five European regions strengthen public\u2011private cooperation and support SMEs in reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
