    THE NATIONAL CLIMATE CONFERENCE 18TH + 19TH AUGUST 2021 Will the COVID-19 pandemic teach us how to deal with the climate crisis? ”The pandemic, the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis are all signs that we as humans do not adapt to our sur- roundings, but believe, that we can get nature to fit into our needs. Our recent loss of control with nature should make us more humble”. (Andreas Lloyd, Information, 2021) THE CORE MESSAGE FOR THE CONFERENCE Will the COVID-19 crisis show us how to deal with the climate crisis? ”That crises and disasters constitute opportunities for societal learning and innovation is a historically well-known phenomenon. It took place after the Second World War, after the oil crises in the 1970s, the Chernobyl accident in 1986, the Katrina flood disaster in New Orleans in 2005, and after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear and tsunami disaster in Japan in 2011. There is reason to work so that the COVID-19 crisis can similarly become a starting point for learning in relation to dealing with the more extensive climate crisis. ” MC-couple (Climate and Adjustment Council, 2020).

During the pandemic, there has been both economic and popular support for major societal changes. The vision for the National Climate Summit 2021 is to rethink climate action in the light of what the pandemic has taught us about community, leadership and global action.

Introduction: Immigrant women in Denmark Denmark until the 1960s was a relatively homogeneous society with a very small ethnic-minority population and low levels of immigration1. However, migration from Turkey, Pakistan and Yugoslavia driven by demands for labour in the 1960s was combined with refugee flows from countries such as Spain, Portugal and Greece in the early 1970s, changing the country into a more multi-ethnic society. With the oil crisis of 1973, immigration of guest workers was halted. With the exception of family migration and some immigration for specialist workers and study, the primary group of immigrants in the 1980s and 90s became asylum seekers. In the 1980s, refugees arrived in Denmark from the Middle East and after the civil war in Somalia. In addition to Kurds from Iraq, the largest refugee flow in the 1990s came to Western Europe from the former Yugoslavia.

This is because they have been the first to try the ESCO-model for all municipal buildings in Denmark. Landscape in Middelfart municipality, air photo ESCO (Energy Service Company) is a term for companies engaged in energy-saving measures in buildings and finances them through the achieved economic savings. It is companies or consortia, who in a single package solution offers to be responsible for analysis, project design, financing, execution and start-up, including user training. An other financial solution is known as EPC Energy Performance Contracting. Here the idea is that the company guarantees a certain energy performance. This could be a contract regarding a certain temperature in buildings. 1 Many municipalities and major building owners are presently considering whether to enter into ESCO collaborations and which models they should use and are therefore very interested in experiences from Middelfart. The business model within ESCO, does call on customers to consider an number of questions: Can ESCOs satisfy expectations when conducting entire renovation processes to user satisfaction? Is it economically worthwhile for the municipality, are payback times realistic? Are the
