New leadership at the Green Transition Denmark

12 May 2026
The team behind the Green Transition Denmark continues its work to raise climate and environment to the forefront of decision-makers – now with new leadership.

The Council for Green Transformation has elected new leadership at an extraordinary general meeting. Bo Asmus Kjeldgaard will take over as the new chairperson, and Lars Pehrson will take on the role of deputy chairperson. At the meeting, the organization adopted new statutes that better reflect the organization's organization. 

At the same time, Jeppe Juul is now head of the secretariat. He will continue in his role as head of transport policy in parallel. This ensures continuity and strong professional anchoring in the organization's work. 

"The organizational changes have been a necessary adaptation to reduced revenues, which has, among other things, led to the closure of the previous management layer in the organization. This has been necessary to ensure that RGO can still contribute effectively to the green transition", says Bo Asmus Kjeldgaard. 

With the new composition, the Green Transition Denmark is well equipped to continue and expand its work for an ambitious and responsible green transition in Denmark. 

"RGO's great strength is that we can combine great professionalism and knowledge with collaboration and action, and find solutions across areas such as Energy, Transport, Chemicals and Agriculture. Much of our work also has an international character, which is important to make a real difference for the benefit of the climate and environment," says Bo Asmus Kjeldgaard. 

The new management, in close collaboration with the team of dedicated employees in the secretariat, will build on the strong foundation that the organization already stands on, and continue the effort to create concrete results in collaboration with decision-makers, business and civil society.
