According to Forbes magazine, the "best country for business in the world "- for two consecutive years – it's uber-green http://www.forbes.com/2009/03/18/best-countries-for-business-bizcountries09-business-washington-best Denmark -countries . Html Denmark has one of the strongest cap and trade commitments in the world – 20% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012. And it has a requirement that 20 percent their overall consumption of renewable energy for the end of 2011. And its efficiency measures are such that the energy minister Connie Hedegaard said last year, "In the 2025, (Denmark) Total energy consumption has not risen in 50 years. "Http: / / global-warming climateprogress.org/2009/04/16/forbes- Denmark / And it seems is the best country for business in the world. "This shatters the myth that a carbon cap and renewable energy investment is bad for the economy?
This seems at least one example of a country ceiling carbon / renewable energy is not a barrier, however the foundations for this were set Denmark by society for many years. Denmark has a culture where social responsibility is highly valued cooperative, which has helped to take and make tough decisions that then they are generally accepted by all classes and all political parties. One reason that illustrates how he came to be is an example, the membership growth Organization for Nature Conservation (DN). In 1975, the organization had 50,000 members. Since 1978, the organization intensified recruitment new members through telephone calls to all Danish households. At the same time, attention had shifted to conservation problems environment in general. This strategy proved very successful. In 1980, membership has doubled, and in 1983, adopted the threshold of 200,000 members. In 1988, the organization had 280,000 members. This not only made DN largest of Conservation of Nature in Europe, but also meant there was more members that all Danish political parties as a whole. This is an incredible pressure force and influence on decisions made that way ahead of any another country at this time and shape the way Denmark did business, run their institutions and educated population. results are that the infrastructure and general activity, environmental investment social frameworks are in favor of all types is now part of your DNA and Connie Hedegaards statement is not political hot air is a safe and very realistic prediction.
