Your daily horoscope: January 13, 2026

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY There may be nothing new under the sun but what takes place over the next 12 months will take you by surprise because it never occurred to you that such things were possible. Forget about what went before – it’s what comes next that matters. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): The best way to deal with information that does not make sense is to ignore it. It may seem important now but with so many changes on the horizon you will have forgotten about it by this time tomorrow – so it can’t be that significant can it? TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): The next few days are going to be special for everyone but especially for you.

Denmark’s Green Revolution: 1 Billion Trees and 10% Farmland Conversion

 

In a groundbreaking move towards environmental sustainability, Denmark has announced an ambitious plan to plant 1 billion trees and convert 10% of its farmland into forests and natural habitats over the next two decades. This initiative, hailed as the most significant transformation of the Danish landscape in over a century, aims to reduce fertilizer usage and combat climate change.

The agreement, reached by a coalition of Danish lawmakers, allocates 43 billion kroner (approximately $6.1 billion) to acquire land from farmers. This will result in an additional 250,000 hectares (618,000 acres) of forest and the conversion of 140,000 hectares (346,000 acres) of low-lying, climate-damaging soils into natural habitats. Currently, forests cover 14.6% of Denmark’s land, and this initiative will significantly increase that percentage.

Jeppe Bruus, head of Denmark’s Green Tripartite Ministry, emphasized the historical significance of this change, comparing it to the draining of wetlands in 1864. The plan also includes a groundbreaking measure to tax livestock farmers for the greenhouse gases emitted by their animals, starting in 2030, making Denmark the first country to implement such a tax.

This comprehensive approach reflects Denmark’s commitment to leading the way in environmental conservation and climate action, setting a precedent for other nations to follow.
