The green transition is you and me changing our consumption and behaviour. It is businesses setting green goals for their operations. And it is politicians having the courage to set a new, clear direction for society.

We stand together
because Aarhus
needs a new direction
— a green direction,
with people at its
heart.

We are working for:

Alternativet_Hvid_RGB.png
  • A fossil-free Aarhus and bold, genuine climate action.
     

  • The restoration of nature — clean drinking water, thriving biodiversity and green breathing spaces.
     

  • A vibrant cycling city and affordable, accessible public transport.
     

  • Time for community and a working life that doesn’t wear us out.
     

  • Strong and ambitious conditions for culture and the arts.
     

  • An Aarhus that is self-sufficient in healthy, locally produced food.
     

  • Everyday wellbeing — from children in nurseries to older people in care homes.
     

  • Safety, dignity and rights for those in vulnerable situations.

Aarhus should not be built
on concrete and old habits,
but on community, wellbeing
and green action.
We may not have all the answers yet
— but we are ready to set a new course.
 
Change is essential.
It begins with your vote.

The Origin of The Alternative
 

The Alternative was founded in 2013 as a response to what we saw as a systemic crisis – not just an economic one, but a crisis in how we think about politics, the economy, and society itself.

2013 – The Founding

On 27 November 2013, Uffe Elbæk and Josephine Fock announced the creation of The Alternative. The party was born out of the conviction that Denmark needed a new political movement – one that dared to think big and act differently.

2015 – The First Election

At the 2015 general election, The Alternative entered Parliament with 4.8% of the vote and nine seats. It marked the beginning of a new way of doing politics in Denmark.

Political Laboratories

From the very beginning, The Alternative has experimented with new democratic processes. Our political laboratories have involved thousands of citizens in shaping our policies.

Today

Today, The Alternative continues to challenge the political system and to work for a sustainable future where people and nature can thrive together.

Join The Alternative’s fight for a fair future within the planet’s boundaries. We can always use an extra hand.
