All countries should take note of Denmark, mostly USA, China, Canada, Brazil, Russia, India and where I’m from, Australia
Eddie Tran man Australia is coming along fairly well. Ur country is amazing
@@JacobafJelling Yes our country is progressing fairly well but still our county is exporting coal and other non-renewable resources to other countries. Australia also needs to take more action in the Great Barrier Reef and the Pacific islands.
What? Brazil??
What? USA?? Look at 0:30
Andrew Herman yeah actually they withdrew from the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement’s purpose is to reduce Carbon. They’re the only Country to withdraw
B1M has done it again. Good quality is the tradition of this channel. Much love from Lagos, Nigeria.
Thank you so much!! 👍👍
Bro, surulere
Hey guys - there's an issue with this video not appearing on our channel or in subscription feeds, despite us checking the necessary boxes. There's also an issue with the view count and likes. We have raised these issues with our RUclips Partner Manager and RUclips's product team and they are working to resolve them as quickly as possible. Thanks!
The B1M 👍🏻 I got the notification after I had watched the video 😂
Hey The B1M I’ve had the same issue with 2 videos that I uploaded today on two different channels. It seems like it’s happening to many others! Just thought I’d let you know.
Yes I've seen this as well with other channels.
Don't you think Bhuthan deserve s it's place. It's not only a carbon neutral but it's a carbon sink country
Hey B1M, ive been watching your channel for a while nowand i've always enjoyed your videos and commentary! Qaulity has improved and so has the content - all i want to say is keep up the fantastic work :)
at least one country does their job
china and india are doing great
In America, companies are responsible for the vast majority (over 60%) of our pollution and they put it in the consumers like it's our fault. That's why recycling isn't really popular here.
North Korea is way ahead in building bycicle gulag with zero consumption among population
Names Norway is the ones selling that
And I am ashamed to live in it. Without CO2 the plants can't grow. Human activity is responsible for much less then 1% of total CO2 outlet. The carbon scare is you all suffer from, is the prelude to carbon taxation. You all just swallow up this garbage because it's being pushed on TV, and everything you see on TV is true, right? WAKE UP GUYS!!!!!
Copenhagen is one of my favorite cities in the world. As a traveler of more than 23 countries and dozens of cities, no city makes me feel as much as ease as CPH. I wish more cities were planned and developed like that. Aarhus is an awesome city, too! Anyone wants to trade my Canadian passport for a Danish one? lol
You know Danes love Canada, so I would love to trade my Danish passport with your Canadian one, but only for a couple of years, I would miss Copenhagen too much...
Already got both, thanks

I don't know how, but when I visit Copenhagen I'm always feeling like I'm coming home. It's wonderful city with amazing and warm people and I admire their state of mind, their behaviour to nature and their hygge.
One of the best channels on RUclips. Keep it up!
the B1M is now in my "quality content channels" list
Good to see Copenhagen becoming an environment friendly city. Hope that most Danish cities would be like that in the near future.
Most cities here are cleaner than Copenhagen.
And the technology is not unique to Copenhagen, although they are probably on the forefront.
The only thing the video don't get quite right, is that this development is new.
It isn't. It's decades of development.
This music is such a bliss in everyone of your videos!! Can you put a playlist or something, that would be awesome :)
I love the Scandinavians view and goal on these. Glad to see the progress and hope we do see Copenhagen as the worlds first carbon neutral capital city.
I'm so proud of my country. We only have 1 home lets treat it right :)
Love Copenhagen from India
@Hans It`s a good thing you`re intelligent enough to get it then. I don`t really see the point in that answer + we make loads of jobs and money helping them to transform to renewal energy, which they are doing fast, for such a huge country
Du burde nærmere flove dig over at du æder den gang gylle råt. HVIS alt det her skal ske, så skal skatten sættes væsentligt op og vores industri skal så godt som afskaffes. Og alligevel ville “Grøn energi” ikke engang kunne dække 10% af det nuværende behov.
SDD525 Sure they are🤪 They just opened 3 massive coalburning powerplants and are scheduled to open up to 7 more within 5 years.
@SDD525 ~omg; DO let's hope *so!*
great country and great city. I lived there for a year and while its obviously a little different than living in America, I can say that the way its run and the togetherness of the nation is something that Americans can and should learn from. Though I doubt that it would ever happen.
It always amazes me how organized and rational the Norsemen are. I guess those long cold nights force you to think and contemplate, and execute excellent, society-wide concepts and projects in spring. Watching this makes me feel like I live on another, blind and backward planet.
What also amazes me is the permanent high quality of B1M videos. Probably the best channel on the entire RUclips.
Always refreshing to see someone bucking the status quo and showing the world what's possible.
I’m really proud of my country Denmark 🇩🇰 they do so much for us.
You even get paid to study here in Denmark. I’m 29 years old and decided to get a bachelor in Technology management and Marine Engineering so I can help build marine wind farms. My country provides this opportunity for me for free. It just really makes me proud to be Danish! #carbonneutral
This city looks so clean and ordering ,their citizens live in 2050
@@Bager_Wisdoms Mostly it's about getting the like 2 days a year where it's sunny. Denmark rarely looks very welcoming.
The weather is often grey in Denmark and our streets and walkways usually hold a lot of cigarettes and trash (which sucks!!). Try going to Tokyo. Despite the smog above the city, the people are great at cleaning up after themselves. The same can't be said for Danes, sadly.

What an amazing country. Great video btw
Copenhagen its amazing!
I am echoing the comments, of many other contributors, but feel it necessary to add, that this channel, should be used as an educational portal, for both adults and children (maybe it is already?) who are eager to learn about environmental issues and the innovators who take up the challenge to leave a better planet behind us, for the future. Bravo Copenhagen and thank you the B1M, for the quality of presentation and content matter.
Like from Denmark!!!🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
@@BadWithNames123 Step by step. Transition requires planning and incremental change. Seems they''re doing more than most western countries. Wish I lived there and could speak the language. I prefer colder climes and progressive policies. I'm stuck in mid-Michigan. It could be worse.
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 The weather sucks in Copenhagen, it rains almost everyday year round
@@loselmatos4453 - No it doesn't. I don't know if you live in Denmark, but I do. Most days there's no rain at all. Our weather can be quickly changing in a day, og from one day to another. So yes, it might suddenly change from very sunny to very rainy in almost no time. I don't know how normal this behavior is around the globe though. but surely compared to warner countries, where there's longer periods of sun and shorter with rain, it could seem like it rains all time here in Denmark. Our weather just varies a lot :)

@@BadWithNames123 Denmark gave that oil to Norway long ago. This was under prime minister Poul Schlüter if im not mistaken.

Amazing. Inspire the world 🇩🇰🌍❤️
I really believe this is how the world is going to be in the future instead of the Blade Runner's way... and it's great. Thank you for all the great work, keep it going! Greetings from Spain.
And now we live in a dystopian hellhole :(
OMG that music at the beginning is so great! You guys are getting so good at this!
As if this wasn't good enough, the powerplant at 7:17 has a ski slope on the roof and a climbing wall on the side. Go Copenhagen!
It’s so awesome though the pancakes you can currently get on the top are a little pricy
An example for all of us. I wish them al the best.

like to see a video about Bhutan ( carbon negative country) . how did it happen? what can we learn?
*TREES*
not having industry and "being poor" helps.. also they are not carbon negative ^^'
@@alekspapez they are carbon-negative. The facts are available, regardless of your feels.
Bhutan has several very large hydro electric (dam) facilities due to all the water in the country. They produce huge amounts of electricity -- more than the small country needs. So they sell their excess electricity to India. Simple calculation, nothing magical here. Few countries have this advantage.
@@revolutionarycomrade I did my research just now and got a bit wiser, thank you. The claim comes because they have lots of greenery and don't use much energy, which is fantastic, no doubt about it. Problem is that they barely produce anything which just means everyone is puttin out the carbon -for- them (for anything and everything they buy) but thats hard to count so they just dont. Also I hope they can keep emitting so little carbon going forward and still get the benefits of our new technology. Thanks again.
Love this vid, coming from a Copenhagener that helps keeping one the the featured things in this video running.
Very educational and loads to learn from. Thank you.
These videos are incredible, love everything about them
l really appreciate ur vids :) keep going bro
Applauding from Canada. Go Denmark!
Go Canada, you can do it too. Gotta quit the tar sands.
7:20 fun sidefact: that place had an artificial skislope on its roof ⛷️⛷️
I really like your videos with a focus on sustainable construction! :)
Hey look that's my childhood home at 1:50! The tiny yellow house is a a guardhouse from 1724. It was moved 14 meters in 1936. Hey look that's the church I was baptised in at 4:10 Christians Kirke! Honestly, you can see the entire city from Amager Bakke at 7:25, it's free to go up there, the ramparts look amazing, Copenhagen is so flat you can see for miles and there's a skiing lift on top. 8:10 Copenhagen Townhall, 8:17 Christiansborg Castle (Parliament)
Amazingly constructed video! The changes made in Copenhagen are truly inspiring. I hope to see similar advancements made in Oslo (Norway), which I'm sure they will! I intend to move to Oslo someday after high school / college.
But who knows... maybe Denmark is a better fit! We'll see.
here in the Netherlands it's eerie similar to what you see here in the video. (only the central heating system isn't that common)
This comment might come of as a little bias, because I am Danish myself, but we love and admire Norway, so its said with love for our brothers and sisters in Norway, but Oslo is still a very young capital, in terms of charm, warmness and structure, something is missing in Oslo, and its not as safe as Copenhagen. In many cases Oslo feels and looks empty and too sterile if that makes sense. One should definitely visit the beautiful country of Norway, but comparing Oslo and Copenhagen, I would advise you to come down south with us Danes in Copenhagen. I wish you good luck with your plans, much love from Copenhagen...
Norway already had biogass buss for almost 5 years now. And we have been the leading country in electric cars, but we will never be leading in bike because it always get too cold here to bike to work.
Thank you for all the work you do! I hope the city council of copenhagen finds out about this video :)
Awesome video! Thanks for making them

if you want another great example for cities like this, you could take a look at Vienna. One major thing is, that we have public transport for just one euro a day. I love that city tbh :3

Everything you guys make is gold. Thank you
Keep up the fantastic work!
nice video. good quality, nice voiceover. great job.
Thank you!
Great to see the progress of humankind.
I subbed your channel, will you do the same :)
This made me so upset. Mongolia is long way to go to reach this level of awesomeness. So proud of Copenhagen, and very impressed by your amazing content. Love you, B1M!
Reykjavik, Helsinki, Astana and one of the Emirate state cities pretty much do this already aswell, do a video on this topic around the world maybe?
In terms of major city overhauls, Reykjavik doesn't really apply since it's tiny by comparison, the railway on the entirety of Iceland consists of 20 meters of track to transport fish from the dock to the harbour, in other words there are alot of problems that big cities face that Reykjavik will never face and it's specifically those problems that are the highlight, i don't want to take away any accomplishments though, any innovation in the area is welcome and should be looked at regardless of where it comes from.
Although i agree that a greater overview of what is actually being done in several individual cities worldwide would be very good, inculding reykjavik, even though they won't be bringing much to the table in regards of solutions for metropolitan cities and heavily industrialized areas.
An impressive effort. How do the finances work out?
So impressed with Copenhagen and, as always, in awe of the quality postings from The B1M!
Great City and great video. Thank You 🙏

Amazing video, congrats!

Great content, narration and music!
Denmark showing the world how things should be done in a bid to enhance quality of life for urban dwellers.
Not just Urban dwellers but everyone. We're all in the same boat, everyone on the planet and so it's a shared responsibility of ours to make sure that the only planet we have is still habitable for our future generations. I mean if you were born in a world with massive food shortages, a large destruction of natural life and many wonders and cultures from just a few generations ago completely destroyed, then yeah You would be upset at your ancestors! And if we all don't change course for a better future, then we might just become those ancestors to that potential child!
Finally my city:))
This is fantastic! I wish the United States would strive to do as much as Denmark has already.
Cody Write To bad America doesn't have as few of people as your country.
When you’re too lazy to even try to be green you can’t fall back on the age old excuse of “but but but the population...”.
thedrloboski stevens
Yeah IKR. I live in USA and we have like 350 million people that are way more spread out than people in Denmark which would make this kind of progress much more costly than in Denmark
Warzed Arcanist
I completely agree. I hate having a president that is as naive to say that climate change isn’t real.
TXnine7nine
I hate to say that the vast majority of my fellow Americans either think climate change is a piece of leftist propaganda or they don’t even know about the issue in the first place. I live in Texas. Believe me, hardly anyone gives a rats ass about climate change rn and it’s really frustrating
Being from Denmark myself and as much as i love the goal of co2 neutral. Look at the picture here 0:55. Can you telle me what is wrong ?. Lack of nature and vegetation. We really need to give nature more room in the cities. Imagine if just a few of those buildings were demolished and converted into forest areas, or if we used the rooftops for flowers, to help out bees and other insects. You could even have walkways joining buildings together. suddenly there is a park on the top of the city. Maybe some day, before it's too late.
Concrete cities with a few lone tree's here and there makes me depressed. It's so cold and sterile.
I agree. What do you think about central park in NYC?
I totally agree with you. I really think new developments should leave more space for nature and trees. There is a really big problem in European cities that due to wanting to have biggest possible profit and highest density we are not creating but still destroying those remaining tiny city green spaces. For example in my home city Vilnius green spaces and trees are now looked upon as useless and dirty objects that should be destroyed by building more "useful" buildings. On the other hand, old towns are exception and could remain dense because they are very important for other reasons. They have irreplaceable unique history and culture that we should continue to protect. Due to good integration with nature I really like mid century modern housing, they are dense enough to be functional but are still short enough (3-5 floors) to have enough light and do not feel overcrowded. They also usually have many trees, big yards, sport facitities and playgrounds near them.
@@DirectorBird it is awesome. Hovewer, I think there should be more smaller parks that are easier to reach. One vwry big park is just not enough.
Evergreen XCVI without Central Park NYC would have unbearably poor air quality
Well, I think with reaching this goals, more areas in the city could go completely car free and make space for green areas. Also projects similar to "Bosco Verticale" in Milan, might be built in Denmark...
Awesome video! You have a new subscriber
Great video as always B1M! And good job to Copenhagen for taking the steps to do this. Sadly however in so many placed around the world the governments are in bed with the oil/coal and all that companies that they almost do the opposite.
The B1M has over 1 million subscribers so let's not MISINFORM.
BHUTAN is a country that's carbon neutral since 2018
and its capital is THIMPHU.
I love the idea that Copenhagen has plans to become carbon-neutral but it is a goal that may not be realistic for other cities in different countries. I live in the USA and it doesn't seem reasonable at this point in time to aim for this goal. For any major city in the USA to be carbon-neutral, its probably going to take more than 15 years to see this goal as a reality. A lot of research and planning will need to be dedicated to reach this goal. Always loved the channel and content presented!
Thanks for this informational and well made-up video, as all your channel's videos! I enjoyed this Video, and would like to get more about eco-friendly and green cities from the definitive video channel of construction, so i subscribe to the B1M.
Very good video😀 unfortunatly our national government is not doing enough and after being elected 3 years ago rolled back several initives aimed at lowering CO2 emosions😡 hopefully this year we will get a goverment that can the country CO2 neutral🌲

Oh we will 😉
Denmark: "I got an idea, let's take better care of our earth!"
America: "No, my freedom is way more important than all of our physical well being!"
how original
Lol... we just love the Americans for living on freedom with COVID 19!
India : mission imposible 😎
Another brilliant video, thank you!
This didn’t show up in my sub box, but so glad I found it
It's an issue with RUclips that they are resolving.
Incredible!
I watched this video just now, four years after the upload. It’d be cool if there’s an up-to-date version .
Cities have 50% of the population, but release 3/4 of the co2? That's INSANE
How exciting! I'm visiting Copenhagen this summer :D
Copenhagen has just been nominated Number one best city to visit 2019 by Lonely Planet, we are looking forward to having you, please don't litter on our streets though...*S*
Good job, but one mistake , the first carbon neutral capital is in Bhutan , it is already a carbon neutral country now
That is absolutely true, and I for one admire Bhutan so much, not only for the fact that the country is clean but also for the King who wants to keep it that way. But you can not compare Thimphu the capital city of Bhutan to Copenhagen, we are talking about a fully modern city with transportation systems, modern housing and one of the highest standards of living. Usually that kind of development is bad for the environment, but Copenhagen and Denmark as a whole is showing the world that it is possible to live in the western world and be good to the environment, that is the message. Many countries are much cleaner then Denmark, no doubt about that...Love and respect, from Copenhagen.
@@KenKobayashiRasmussen Denmark consumes less fossil fuels per capita compared to other developed nations, but keep in mind that many stuff you(also the west) use are made in other countries; So for example, all these electric cars that will replace petrol ones until 2030 will be produced outside Denmark and the carbon gasses for their production will be produced outside borders also - but actually the pollution will be made for the account of denmark; Also, vehicle replacements mostly are responsible for further pollution from vehicle industries. Lithium batteries on existing EVs are responsible for large pollution from manufacturing process, last less than 8 years, have low capacity and soon will be obsolete(solid state batteries are coming). Many Danes will change car(again) after that, lose their money(again) and even more carbon gasses will be produced from German / Japanese car factories.
Iakwvos Birdakas In professional terms that’s called Production Emissions and Consumption Emissions, but I don’t se what that has to do with what we where talking about? I must say, that I do not like that you are using the drawings that almost ruined Denmark’s relationship with the middle eastern countries as your profile picture...
@@KenKobayashiRasmussen ...and in constant threads for war.
@@birdakasiakwvos I am sorry to hear that you are living in a country that is directly effected by the extremists, but I think you have misunderstood our reason for our politics. Denmark is not fighting Islam, Islam is a beautiful relegion. What we are fighting is the extremist thought that Islam is the only relegion and that everyone else should die. We fight for our right for freedom of speech no matter what, and we fight for everyones safety in our country, and if that means that we must control the income of refugees, then so be it. We must be able to take care of our citizens first, and welcome the refugees that we did accept into our country, so that they will be taken care of in terms of education, cultural understanding and language, if we take as many refugees as Sweden did, then we will loose control and the integration will fail. Thats our policy in Denmark, we want to welcome everyone with open arms, but Denmark is a free country, where you have to apply to our rules and our culture, if you are not willing to do that, then we give you a ticket home..
Although I am very proud that Copenhagen is making this well-needed push, I would like to point that comparatively to other countries and their mega-cities, the Danish capital is more the size of a town. I love the political message the government is trying to send but I can imagine that this kind of transformation would proof more difficult in other countries with much larger cities than the ones we have in Denmark.
It should be mentioned that it isn't just Copenhagen that has these commitments, multiple cities around Denmark have made commitments to becoming carbon neutral and in general the country is rocketing ahead with the majority of power coming from CO2 neutral sources and only 3 remaining coal power plant all of which there are plans to close or convert.
Hopefully more cities follow
Great video, Fred!
Great moves! Really inspired. Hope my country can implement what they did
one unintended consequence of LED lighting is that it is making cities much brighter at night leading to problems with migrating birds and other critters. Cant the brightness of LED be controlled and decreased?
It definitely can, it's just a question of regulation.
LED lights can be made at basically any brightness level or heat color level.
What is usually done though is not to reduce brightness significantly but rather than create directional lamps which cause less bleed upwards, LED lights are also better at this than old filament bulbs because LED naturally emit light in one direction vs filaments naturally shinning in all directions.
LED lighting is better than filaments in every way including the ability to control their exact brightness and color with almost perfect precision.
@@NATIK001 can LED's brightness be controlled by adjusting the amount of power going into the unit? Or does the light have to be built to use only a specific amount of power. If the power is the controlling factor, then it would be fairly easy to reduce the lumens (?) by turning down the power and reduce the over-bright city lights that are wreaking havoc in the bird population.
@@wrightgregson9761 You can adjust LED lights easily.
@@NATIK001 thanks much for the info!!!!
(by the way, i see your handle is "Natik". Might that be a reference to Natick, Massahusetts, just west of Bpston?)
@@wrightgregson9761 It is not, it's not a reference to anything really just an old handle I made as a teenager :).
Natik in this spelling I have discovered to be an Indian/Asian/Middle Eastern name apparently, but that wasn't an intended thing either.
What about blocking dirty ships from the ports in and around copenhagen?
What about the Transport of goods throughout the city? Zero emission lorries, transport via rail...
Mention some new buildings with positive energy consumption.
What about renaturation in and around the city? Any projects planned?
Btw: Great video, but too short for a detailed overview of all projects
A comment on renaturation, before the 1600s more or less only Jutland had forests, not because we used all the woods for ships, but simply because our soil doesn't support natural forest growth that well, especially on Fyn and Sjælland, too much sand and rock, so most indiginous trees are hardwoods, which doesn't have a tendency to grow into thick and big forests like coniferous trees do. For the past 400 and some odd years we've had by royal decree tons of forests planned, planted and cultivated, mostly because the king wanted the perfect hunting forest so he built several trial forests, which eventually led to Store Dyrehave which if anything is architecturally interesting. A new development on this part is that several forests have been planned to let them grow wild, until now all the forests have been carefully managed by naturstyrelsen (A governmental organ concerned with the management of all public forests and nature reserves in all regards) but they intend over the next 40 years or so to essentially grow the ecology and sustainability of the forests by reintroducing nature in the mix, which was never really present, bar of course the obvious when dealing with something as natural as forest ecology. There are also talks about a literal naturation of parts of Copenhagen, where housing is built in cohesion with nature instead of on top of it etc. it was also specifically concerned with drainage of rainwater, redirecting rain flow to create ponds etc. but last i heard about that it was very much on the theoretical level*.
No buildings have positive energy consumption, that's practically impossible, what you can do is make the house provide atleast some energy itself, by f.ex. installing solar cells on your roof, but the idea that a house can in itself produce more energy than it consumes is farfetched, especially in a relatively cold country, although we are very good at insulation which does help energy consumption, it will never amount to net positive, at best you can aim for neutral, if that's even what you meant by that, you may have meant that the source of energy is renewable and therefore positive, i'm not sure lol.
On the dirty ships, which i agree is one of our biggest challenges considering we are home to one of the worlds biggest freighter companies, Mærsk, but Mærsk issued a statement december last year saying that they aim to severely cut the use of fossil fuels by 2050, although they say that it will require that the technology to do so existing by 2030 and to that they've pledged considerable ressources in innovation in not only co2 neutral ships, but co2 neutral production aswell, and to that when talking about Mærsk, that's alot of ressources, like alot, probably inconcievable amounts of resources in terms of financing ships and the innovation of such, in a statement the COO of Mærsk, Søren Toft, said "The next 5-10 ten years are the most important. We will invest considerable resources in innovation and fleet technology, with the goal of developing and improving the technical and economic sustainability of fossil-free solutions" He also pointed out that one of the biggest hurdles is the range of batteries and the fact that a ship can't just park and recharge, although at the same time he points out that now is the right time to act since a ship normally has a lifespan of 20-25 years. www.jv.dk/business/Maersk-vil-vaere-CO2-neutral-i-2050/artikel/2668317
Zero emission lorries is a goal, but for now individual companies aim more toward hybrids, probably because of cost and lack of true electrical heavy weight lorries. The problem is that the transport of goods is almost exclusively privately owned so it's not so easy for the government to demand changes, there's also alot of factors to consider and in the end such things take time regardless, but alot of transport companies are mindful of it, especially considering it's good PR.
The railway in Denmark is a monopoly, to move all transport of goods to rails would be to give alot of oney and power to a single company, which is employed by the government, the government own the tracks, but the private company which name eludes me at the moment owns all the trains, although with subsidities from the government, considering our economy i think aiming for electrical lorries and improving the production of them should be the main goal.

Climate change doesn’t exist on a flat earth...
It’s too bad the earth isn’t flat

As a fellow Belge, I know exactly what you mean.
Great video once again!
If only the US could pursue green energy technologies like the rest of the world... Everybody needs to support the Green New Deal proposal in Congress.
Obama did that and it was a disaster because of corruption
@@songbirdforjesus2381 No it wasn't because Obama never did the Green New Deal. The proposal never existed until early last year.
