Sophie Hæstorp Andersen
City of Copenhagen
Lord Mayor
Sophie Hæstorp Andersen has been the Lord Mayor of Copenhagen since 1 January, 2022, for the Social Democratic Party – the second woman to hold the office. She is working to further develop and improve Copenhagen as a city where healthy and meaningful lives go together with sustainable urban development and rapid carbon reductions. Under her leadership, the City of Copenhagen is developing a new climate plan for 2025–2035 with clear aspirations of becoming carbon-positive and strong ambitions to reduce consumption-based emissions. Lord Mayor Hæstorp Andersen is
convinced that a climate-friendly city is also a healthy and livable city, which Copenhagen is a living proof of.
Prior to her role as Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, she was a Member of the Danish Parliament (2001–2005; 2007–2013) and served as Chairperson of the Regional Council at the Capital Region of Denmark (2014–2021), where she was a driving force in developing a green partnership between Danish Regions and Municipalities working together towards more sustainable food production and procurement.
