Kolding is ICLEI Europe's Member in the Spotlight

ICLEI Member Kolding (Denmark) is the latest Member in the Spotlight, an ongoing series that highlights the sustainability achievements of ICLEI Member cities.

Kolding recently launched the "Sustainable City" initiative, which involves citizens, especially students, in the sustainable development of the city. The initiative is situated in a repurposed container, which acts as a space for city residents and representatives from the municipality to work on sustainable projects together.

Kolding has shown itself to be advanced in several fields of sustainable development, having been presented with the Green Procurement award 2015 by the Danish Forum for Sustainable Procurement, and winning an award for its energy system in 2011. In 2018 the city plans to open a biofuel heating plant to replace the use of fossil fuels.
