Copenhagen has adopted a mandatory green roof policy in its desire to become a carbon neutral city by 2025. The new policy makes vegetation and soil a mandatory obligation in planning and it covers all roofs with less than a 300 pitch as well as the refurbishment of older roofs.
’Copenhagen has set itself the ambitious target of becoming the world’s first carbon neutral capital by 2025. To meet this ambitious goal we need ambitious measures. Therefore we have now decided to ensure the City adapst to extreme weather conditions by making new requirements for getting grass on top of as many buildings as possible, ’ - Mayor of Technical and Environmental Administration, Bo Asmus Kjeldgaard.
