Royal Danish Library will benefit from almost two million DKK to create a greener and more sustainable library. The funding comes from the Ministry of Culture, which has distributed a total of six million DKK to Danish cultural institutions earmarked for climate initiatives.

At Royal Danish Library, the funding will be used for solar cells on the roofs of two of our buildings and improved insulation in The Black Diamond, Copenhagen, but we have several initiatives in sight in order to improve our sustainability. We look forward to unveiling them.
