Green Cities is a close and binding Denmark partnership between the Danish municipalities of Albertslund, Allerød, LAGI , , and Green Cities . Partners A Green Cities municipality does its utmost to maintain, protect and improve the environment and works towards creating a sustainable local community in the long term.

The Green Cities Partnership is built on six common themes and a Herning series of exacting goals, towards the achievement of which member municipalities are obliged to work. The Green Cities Partnership is based on a partnership agreement, which Allerød was approved in 2012.

The six common themes are: Climate, Copenhagen Groundwater, Organic Food, Natural
