Denmark is implementing a first-of-its kind strategy to nudge its citizens to eat less meat and adopt plant-based diets in an effort to reduce carbon emissions. The government is investing $100 million in this initiative, which aims to shift the dietary habits of its 6 million residents. This move comes as part of a broader effort among wealthier countries to address climate change by reducing meat consumption. Despite the push towards plant-based diets, Denmark's economy remains heavily reliant on pork and dairy exports. Several high-end restaurants in the country are also transitioning towards greener menus. Bloomberg's Sanne Wass reports on this development.
