In the summer of 2020, Odense City Council adopted an ambitious goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2030 at the latest, which is 20 years ahead of the national target. This initiative can inspire others, but it can also become very costly unless we ensure a cost-effective approach to greenhouse gas reduction.<\/p>\n

The latest climate action plan for Odense from 2023 focuses primarily on energy consumption and mobility, but only addresses emissions physically occurring in Odense, failing to consider how Odense could help leverage opportunities to reduce emissions from sources outside the city.<\/p>\n

Energy is the engine of our economy, and climate policy should therefore be based on realistic, long-term, and cost-effective solutions.<\/p>\n

The current approach tends to focus on hasty, often unjustified solutions that make it unnecessarily expensive for both businesses and citizens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Odense's challenges must particularly be seen in light of The Green Mobility Plan;<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Narrow-minded approach to the climate issue.<\/strong> CO2 knows no borders, which is why solutions for CO2 reduction should to a greater extent be sought outside Odense, as it is far cheaper for Odense.<\/li>\n
  • Reductions in mobility for car owners and freight transport.<\/strong> N\u00e5r veje og gader lukkes, sender man trafikanter rundt i vildrede og skaber barrierer for person – og varetransport som helt sikkert vil g\u00f8re Odense fattigere – og en politik som er i direkte modstrid med Odenses erhvervs – og v\u00e6kstpolitik fra 2021.<\/li>\n
  • Lack of involvement.<\/strong> Citizens and the business community must be involved in the process, and there should be a greater focus on bringing the city along rather than pushing it away when it comes to major, structural changes such as closed roads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Summary<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Liberal Alliance \u00f8nsker en klimadagsorden, der er baseret p\u00e5 ansvarlighed og datadrevet beslutningstagning. Det er afg\u00f8rende at finde en balance mellem klimahensyn og \u00f8konomisk v\u00e6kst, uden at kortsigtede politiske ambitioner styrer beslutningerne. Samtidig skal omkostningerne for “samfundet Odense” for de enkelte tiltag klart kommunikeres ud til Odenses virksomheder og borgere. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
      \n
    1. Data- and evidence-based mobility plan:<\/strong> We will develop a mobility plan built on valid data, professional knowledge, and analysis. The plan must ensure a balance between car traffic, bicycles, and public transport to meet the needs of citizens.<\/li>\n
    2. Regional cooperation on renewable energy:<\/strong> Regional cooperation on renewable energy: Odense should collaborate with neighboring municipalities to locate renewable energy sources across municipal borders. This is necessary to optimize land use and ensure effective climate measures. This is not about installing municipal wind turbines, but about securing the necessary approvals so private actors can set up facilities.<\/li>\n
    3. Energy optimization of municipal buildings:<\/strong> We want to invest in energy retrofitting of municipal buildings to reduce both energy consumption and CO2 emissions.<\/li>\n
    4. Socioeconomic evaluation:<\/strong> Socioeconomic evaluation: All climate initiatives in Odense should be subject to a socioeconomic evaluation to prioritize cost-effective measures. CO2 knows no municipal borders, and this should also be reflected in municipal climate policy, where measures should not be more expensive than necessary. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n
