Denmark's Green Climate Screen

About

The Green Climate Screen is an innovative rainwater management system designed to mitigate flood risks by utilizing natural processes. Located in Copenhagen, Denmark, it serves as a multifunctional solution, combining stormwater management, noise reduction, and urban beautification. The system consists of a three-meter-high willow garden fence lined with mineral wool, which absorbs rainwater for later evaporation. It effectively manages rooftop runoff without the need for pumps or concrete, making it suitable for confined urban spaces. The Green Climate Screen is part of Denmark's efforts to adapt to increasing rainfall and flooding challenges. It demonstrates a sustainable approach to stormwater management by treating water as a resource rather than a waste product. The system can handle extreme rainfall events and contributes to urban cooling and biodiversity. By integrating with local ecosystems, it provides additional benefits such as habitat creation and recreational spaces for residents. This innovative solution showcases Denmark's commitment to climate resilience and sustainable urban planning.
