Factsheet: Action Plans for the Aquatic Environment and Green Growth Agreement (Denmark)

Denmark has been a forerunner in climate policy for several decades. Also emissions of the agricultural sector have fallen significantly over the past years. The main policies that Denmark has been relying on over the last decades are the Action Plans for the Aquatic Environment (APAEs) and later in 2009 the Agreement on Green Growth (GGA), tackling mainly high nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and implementing the EU Nitrates Directive and the EU Water Framework Directive. The study by adelphi and Navigant examines the transferability to the German context.
