Denmark has taken on the role of world leader in the transition to a green growth economy entirely independent of fossil fuels by 2050. The State of Green brand creates international awareness of this vision and of the innovative solutions that will pave the way.

In 2011 Denmark was host to the first Global Green Growth Forum (3GF). 3GF is an initiative of the Danish Government, launched in partnership with the Korean Government and developed in association with the Global Green Growth Institute.

The mission of 3GF is to explore and demonstrate how better collaboration among business experts and public institutions can effectively realise growth potentials in the transition to a ‘green economy’.
