UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Kalundborg

The UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Kalundborg, Denmark, is a protected area that promotes sustainable development by balancing ecological conservation, economic growth, and social well-being. It features innovative industrial symbiosis where resource waste from one process becomes input for another, reducing environmental impact. This model fosters environmental resilience, supports local communities, and demonstrates how industry and nature can coexist beneficially. The reserve serves as a living laboratory for sustainable practices, encouraging research, education, and eco-friendly innovation while preserving the area's natural landscapes and biodiversity.
