Abstract
his study examines how Denmark harmonize between its national climate policies and those of the European Green Deal (EGD). Through a content analysis by incorporating Europeanisation theory, the study explores Denmark’s engagement as a leader in renewable energy and sustainability, its alignment with EU climate policies, the challenges encountered in harmonization, and the impact of the EGD. The findings indicate that Denmark strategically combine proactive measures with adaptation efforts to align with the EGD, demonstrating its leadership in sustainable development within the EU. Despite challenges, Denmark’s approach emphasises the importance of balancing EU directives with national priorities in order to collaborate and solve the climate challenges. This study does not only enhance the understanding of Denmark’s climate policy landscape but also offer valuable insights into the broader aspect climate governance within European union.
