Picture the world’s greenest, most sustainable cities, and you’ll most likely think about Scandinavia. Copenhagen has been powered by commercial wind energy since the 70s. Helsinki, where despite Finns using more energy per capita than most British cities, finds net zero emissions within reach.

Cities are competing to be green superpowers, not just because they care about climate change but because it’s smart business. Denmark's green economy generates billions, Germany now exports wind power globally, and in the US, the green economy employs 9.5 million.
