We partnered with Miljøpunkt Indre By & Christianshavn on a project to advance the movement to phase out diesel fuel in Copenhagen’s canal tour boats. Current regulations allow diesel boats to operate until 2037, contradicting city-wide progress toward carbon neutrality goals. Our communications with local residents, canal tour companies, relevant committees, and political leaders revealed complex political dynamics hindering change. We proposed recommendations for the government, tour boat companies, and Miljøpunkt Indre By & Christianshavn that could catalyze meaningful action.
