A fitting venue for the final farewell to Challenge Europe in Denmark, this well-attended panel debate was held in Copenhagen at the Round Tower – unique in European architecture – in the stunningly beautiful Library Hall. Climate Advocates from all three years attended and took part in a lively debate after a screening of Denmark 2025. Panellists included leaders in business and science from Denmark and Europe. The United Nations Environment Programme’s new report Pathways to a Green Economy was presented by John Christensen Head of UNEP Risoe, while Katja Rosenbaum spoke for the European Environment Agency. Martin Lidegaard from Concito Think Tank made a compelling case for green taxes and partnership between public and private sectors, and Marianna Lubanski explained how Grundfos (the world’s largest makers of pumps) is committed to investment in the Green Economy and R & D. The debate was moderated by Jenny White, Environmental Project Manager, British Council.

Advocates, experts and partners enjoyed climate friendly snacks and organic drinks while chatting and networking after the debate.

British Ambassador to Denmark, Nick Archer, spoke about the success of the project adding: ‘Thank you to the Danish Climate Advocates, it really makes a difference. Thanks to the people from British Council who ran Challenge Europe and in so doing brought credit to the UK. Let’s carry on working with Climate Change.’
