 Welcome to Europe and to Denmark. The theme for the World Water Congress and exhibition in Copenhagen is water for smart, liveable cities. In Denmark, we believe water is the key to creating cities that are both sustainable and attractive places to live, and we invite you to experience how Copenhagen has done just that. In Denmark, we get all of our drinking water from groundwater, which we carefully protect and manage sustainably. Copenhagen is also a prime example of how we combine climate adaptation measures with exciting urban development. We treat close to 100% of our wastewater and as a result you can take a swim in one of Copenhagen's many half a bath. We even use our wastewater to recover both energy and resources, which contributes to a green energy system and a circular economy. It's our ambition that the water sector in Denmark should be energy and climate neutral before 2030. Join us for a week of interesting discussions on how we can shape our water future together and try a swim in one of the Habers yourself.
