    Climate

    THEME , Climate , The climate is changing, and there is increasing focus across the world on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from production and consumption. Here you can find statistics on the development in Denmark’s emissions of greenhouse gases, the emission sources and the climate footprint of Danish consumption. You can also read about what we do as a society to reduce the emissions., All themes , ON THIS PAGE, Emissions of greenhouse gases, Sources of emissions, The danish climate footprint, Efforts to reduce emissions, International comparisons, Go to top, On this page, Emissions of greenhouse gases, Sources of emissions, The danish climate footprint, Efforts to reduce emissions, International comparisons, Go to top, Emissions of greenhouse gases, When we, as a society, want to do something about climate change, our focus is on the emissions of greenhouse gases. An increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere contributes to the greenhouse effect, which is changing the planet’s climate system., Greenhouse gas emissions in Denmark in 2024, Get more figures in Statbank Denmark on greenhouse gas emissions, ., Denmark has a political goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70 per cent from 1990 to 2030. This target was adopted with the Danish , Climate Act, ., Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Denmark,   , Note: Emissions in Denmark, excl. CO2 from biomass incineration, and emissions and uptake from soil and forests., Source: , www.statistikbanken.dk/drivhus, International agreements and national targets most often measure the development since 1990. This key marker began with the Kyoto Protocol, which was the first agreement obligating countries to reduce total global emissions.,  , What are greenhouse gases?, The most important greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and F-gases (HFC, PFC, SF6 and NF3, used as a cooling agent, for example). An increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere contribute to the greenhouse effect, which is changing the planet’s climate system., Greenhouse gases are emitted, for example, in connection with the burning of petrol and oil, from livestock and use of fertilizer and from cement production., The individual greenhouse gases contribute in different ways to the greenhouse effect depending on their concentration and ability to absorb heat radiation. To be able to measure total emissions, they are converted to a common unit called CO2 equivalent., Three ways to report greenhouse gas emissions, Emissions in Denmark, are used to keep track of the development in relation to international climate targets, such as the commitments of the , Paris Agreement, and Denmark’s national targets in the , Climate Act, ., In addition to the emissions in Denmark, , Emissions from the Danish economy, incl. Danish transport operations abroad, also include emissions from international transport, especially emissions from the oil used by Danish-run vessels that are bunkered (refuelled) abroad. The assessment allows us to analyse the relationship between different economic activities and their impact on the environment and the climate., The Danish climate footprint, is the emissions caused by Danish consumption and other final use – regardless if the emissions happen in Denmark or in other countries via import of goods to Denmark. In turn, emissions from production for Danish exports are not included. The climate footprint shows how Danish consumption contributes to global emissions of greenhouse gases. , Read an elaborate review of how greenhouse gas emissions are assessed (pdf in Danish)., You can learn more about Denmark’s path towards the target of reducing our emissions by 70 per cent by 2030 on the website of the Danish Council on Climate Change (mainly in Danish): , Klimarådet, ., If you are looking for information on climate, climate change and the effects of climate change on our planet, you can find further information on a climate topic page by the Danish Meteorological Institute (in Danish): , DMIs temaside om klima, ., Economic growth and emissions, Denmark has seen economic growth (an increase in GDP) almost every year since 1990. The only exceptions being the financial crisis and COVID-19. The greenhouse gas emissions from the Danish economy have not increased at the same rate as the growth in the economy. After 2006, emissions have generally been declining. A major part of the decline in greenhouse gas emissions is due to the green transition, which here is especially focused on the transition to renewable energy and the implementation of energy efficiency measures. However, it is a contributory factor that the structure of the Danish economy has changed over the period, so that manufacturing plays a less significant role and services a more prominent role.,  , Economic growth (GDP) and greenhouse gas emissions (index 1990=100), In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Economic growth and greenhouse gas emissions (TEMA9001), Note: Emission from the Danish economy, incl. Danish transport operations abroad, excl. CO2 from biomass incineration and emissions and uptake from soil and forests.,  , The environmental-economic accounts, The environmental-economic accounts, are a set of internationally comparable accounts highlighting the interaction between the environment and the economy. The environmental-economic accounts provide a basis for examining areas such as green growth, energy consumption, natural resources and society’s expenditure on protection of the environment and nature., Sources of emissions, The Danish greenhouse gas emissions come from a number of activities associated with production and consumption: This could be, for example, from agricultural production, energy production and manufacturing or from the consumption by families. As the Danish economy has a high level of activity in transport abroad, a major share of total emissions come from Danish transport operations abroad. How we manage our land use - for agricultural crops or forests - also has an effect on our emissions. , Greenhouse gas emissions from companies, The biggest reduction in emissions is in the industry , utility services, , which includes for example, power plants and wind turbines., Agriculture, forestry and fishing, is the industry with the highest emissions in Denmark. This industry’s share of the corporate sector’s total emissions has increased since 1990, as emissions have declined at a significantly higher rate in other industries., Other companies cover, for example, , trade and transport, construction, public administration and services, , and these account for approximately a quarter of emissions from the corporate sector., Emissions from different industries, In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Greenhouse gas accounts (TEMA9005), Note: Emissions in Denmark, excl. CO2 from biomass incineration, and emissions and uptake from soil and forests., Agriculture, forestry and fishing, Agriculture contributes with approximately 95 per cent of the emissions from the industry , agriculture, forestry and fishing, . The greenhouse gas emissions from this industry are distributed on methane, nitrous oxide and CO2. The methane emissions are mainly from livestock, whereas nitrous oxide is mainly from nitrogenous fertiliser. The CO2 accounted for by the industry , agriculture, forestry and fishing, comes mainly from energy consumption and liming of agricultural soil. Emissions of nitrous oxide as well as CO2 from agriculture have been declining since 1990, whereas emissions of methane have been more or less constant.,   , In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Emissions from agriculture, forestry and fishing (TEMA9010), Energy supply, A major part of greenhouse gas emissions comes from the production and consumption of fossil energy. Denmark’s total production of energy is measured in PJ, which is short for petajoule and is used to measure energy contents, thus facilitating comparison across energy types. Denmark’s energy production consists of oil, natural gas and renewable energy, such as biomass, wind power and solar power., Denmark’s total energy consumption has been more or less constant since 1990. For a period between the late 1990s and the mid-2010s, Denmark was self-sufficient in energy. In later years, Denmark has imported energy to cover the consumption., Production of primary energy and gross energy consumption in Denmark, Note: The energy consumption is stated without Danish transport operations abroad., Sources: , www.statistikbanken.dk/ene2HO, and , www.statistikbanken.dk/ene3H, Manufacturing industries, Within the manufacturing industries, it is especially the manufacture of plastic, glass and concrete that contributes to the emissions of greenhouse gases. This has to do with energy-intensive processes and with CO2 being released from the limestone applied in the manufacture of cement., In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Greenhouse Gas Accounts (in CO2 equivalents) (DRIVHUS), Emissions from the Danish economy, incl. Danish transport operations abroad, Whether the greenhouse gas emissions have declined since 1990 depends on whether we include emissions from Danish transport operations abroad. Emissions from Danish transport operations abroad are not included in the compilation of emissions in Denmark; whereas they are included in the environmental-economic accounts (see factbox). ,  , In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Greenhouse gas emissions (TEMA9007), Note: Emissions exclusive of CO2 from biomass incineration, and emissions and uptake from soil and forests.,  , International transport is a substantial part of the Danish economy, and for that reason, the emissions from fuel for Danish transport operations abroad account for a significant share of total emissions. This applies in particular to Danish cargo ships, but also aircraft and lorries., Greenhouse gas emissions by industry. 2023, Source: www.statistikbanken.dk/DRIVHUS, Emissions from families, Greenhouse gas emissions from the energy consumption of Danish families come primarily from petrol and diesel for cars and from electricity and district heating. A part of it comes from domestic heating oil and natural gas for heating. The families’ emissions from electricity and district heating are indirect, as the energy comes from the utilities industry, but is consumed by the individual family. For that reason, these figures are also included in the emissions from companies. The steep decline in the families’ emissions from electricity and district heating can be linked with the green transition, which includes implementation of energy efficiency measures and the transition to renewable energy.,  , In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on CO2 emissions from families' energy consumption (TEMA9006), Note: Emissions excl. CO2 from the households’ biomass incineration, such as wood pellets and firewood., The emissions from family car driving has been fairly constant since 1990, even though the number of cars on the roads has increased. This is owing to the cars becoming increasingly energy efficient.  Read more in the article , Flere biler trods grønne visioner (pdf in Danish), . With the declining emissions from electricity and district heating, CO2 from driving now accounts for a significantly higher share of the emissions from families’ energy consumption since 1990., The decline in the emissions in 2020 is mainly due to less driving because people were working from home during COVID-19., In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Cars and their C02 emissions (TEMA9013), Emissions and uptake from soil and forests, Parts of the emissions come from the growing of crops and other use of Denmark’s land areas. At the same time, forests absorb and bind part of the CO2 emissions. The total greenhouse gas emissions and the uptake from soil and forests are called LULUCF (Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry)., Net emissions from soil and forests (LULUCF), In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Bridge table for Greenhouse Gasses (MRO2),  , Greenhouse gas emissions and uptake from soil and forests (LULUCF), Emissions and binding of greenhouse gases caused by changes in the amount of carbon stored in soil and biomass are often referred to as LULUCF. This is an acronym for ’Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry’. The combined contribution from soil and forests may be positive or negative. LULUCF is not included in any other graphs on this page. Read more at , Danish Centre for Environment and Energy (DCE), at Aarhus University., The danish climate footprint, The climate footprint shows how Danish consumption contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions. The Danish climate footprint is the emissions caused by consumption in Danish households, the public sector and Danish investments – regardless if the emissions happen in Denmark or in other countries via imports of goods to Denmark. In turn, emissions from production for Danish exports are not included. , The Danish climate footprint 2023, Note: The climate footprint of Danish consumption covers all final use, which means consumption in Danish households and the public sector as well as Danish investments. Get more figures in Statbank Denmark on the , Danish climate footprint, ., Danish consumption has a bigger climate footprint abroad than in Denmark, and the share of emissions abroad is increasing., The Danish climate footprint in Denmark and the rest of the world, In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Climate footprint (experimental statistics) (AFTRYK1), The Danish climate footprint outside Denmark, Danish consumption leaves the biggest foreign climate footprint in China. Outside Europe, Danish consumption leaves a footprint particularly in USA and India, while in Europe, the emissions are mainly in Germany and Poland., Top-10 countries affected by the climate footprint of our imports, In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Climate footprint (experimental statistics) (AFTRYK1), You can read more about the Danish climate footprint in the analysis (in Danish) , Dansk forbrug sætter i høj grad sit klimaaftryk i udlandet, ., The Danish climate footprint is estimated in collaboration with the Danish Energy Agency. If you want to find further information on Denmark’s climate footprint, you can visit , Danish Energy Agency’s Global Reports, ., How to estimate the climate footprint, The climate footprint is calculated by linking an input-output model for the Danish economy with a multi-regional environmental-economic input-output (MRIO) model, which covers the whole world. The Danish model calculates emissions in Denmark that can be linked with Danish consumption and investments. The model also determines the volume of imports resulting from Danish consumption and investments. Next, the international input-output model EXIOBASE is used to calculate emissions in the rest of the world caused by Danish imports., Read further about the calculation of the Danish climate footprint in the , Documentation of statistics, ., The calculations involve a number of assumptions and estimates and are subject to significant uncertainty, especially for the emissions abroad. The underlying data in EXIOBASE is a combination of official statistics, projections and balancing procedures. For that reason, the calculations of the climate footprint should be considered as , experimental statistics, ., Efforts to reduce emissions, A series of different initiatives help reduce greenhouse gas emissions – for example, when fossil fuels are phased out and replaced with renewable energy, and the manufacturing industries produce more without increasing CO2 emissions. , Renewable energy, A major part of the decline in greenhouse gas emissions is due to the transition to renewable energy such as wind power, solar power and biomass.,   , Denmark’s consumption of renewable energy has grown many times as big as in 1990. ,   , In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Renewable energy's share of total gross energy consumption (SDG07021), The Danish production of renewable energy has not kept up with the increasing consumption. This means that the consumption of renewable energy is higher than the production of energy in Denmark. The remaining amount is imported from other countries and consists mainly of imported wood pellets and to a lesser degree wood chips, firewood, biofuel and biodegradable waste etc., Consumption and production of renewable energy, Note: Net imports of electricity (which may be produced from renewable sources) are not included in the consumption of renewable energy., Source: , www.statistikbanken.dk/ene2HO, What is renewable energy?, Forms of energy that have in common that they replenish themselves. The term is defined in the international guidelines for energy statistics. A distinction can be made between renewable sources that are inexhaustible (e.g. solar energy and wind energy) and those that are renewed relatively quickly (e.g. wood pellets and biogas). In Denmark, solid biomass (e.g. wood pellets), wind power, biogas and solar power are important forms of renewable energy., Biomass, The increase in renewable energy production comes especially from biomass. Biomass is, for example, straw, wood pellets or organic waste, which we burn to use the energy. The emission from biomass incineration has more than quadrupled since 1990., When biomass is incinerated, it emits CO2. However, the amount of CO2 emitted was stored in the plants while they were growing. If you plant a corresponding amount of new trees, they will store new CO2 in time. There are diverging views on how CO2 from biomass incineration should be incorporated when accounting for CO2 emissions., These emissions are often left out based on the assumption that they are neutral, because a corresponding amount of CO2 will be absorbed as new trees grow. This is practice in the reporting to the UN, for example., Emission of CO2 from biomass incineration, In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Greenhouse Gas Accounts (in CO2 equivalents) (DRIVHUS),   , The figures on greenhouse gas emission otherwise presented on this page do not include CO2 emissions from biomass incineration, e.g. wood pellets and firewood., In the environmental-economic accounts (see factbox), the emissions are included on equal terms with other emissions, but they have been assessed separately, so that you can include them or exclude them, depending on the purpose., You can also read more about biomass in the energy production in the article , Danmarks forbrug af biomasse til energi holder historisk højt niveau, (in Danish)., Less emission per DKK value added, Part of the green transition is making companies more efficient, which means that it will be possible to generate just as much or more value without causing higher greenhouse gas emissions., One way of measuring the efficiency of companies is to define an indicator of emissions per unit of added value. If the value of the indicator declines over time, it means that the companies have created added value without increasing emissions to the same extent. Altogether, all industries in Denmark have become more emission efficient since 1990. Among other things, this is owing to more efficient processes, energy savings and phasing out of fossil fuels, but also that industries with low emissions in proportion to value added (such as services) have grown more than industries with high emissions in proportion to value added (such as mining and quarrying)., In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Greenhouse gas emissions per. unit value added (TEMA9012), Note: Emissions from the Danish economy, incl. Danish transport operations abroad, excl. CO2 from biomass incineration and emissions and uptake from soil and forests., Environmental goods and services with climate purposes, The development towards lower greenhouse gas emissions is also affected by the corporate sector offering products that can increase the use of renewable energy or that have higher energy efficiency. This could be, for example, wind turbines, energy retrofitting of dwellings and energy consultancy.,  , These products and activities, which are targeting a number of environmental purposes, including reduced CO2 emissions, are shown as value added, employment and exports.,   , In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Environmental goods and services (GRON1), Electric cars, A major share of the emissions comes from the petrol and diesel used for transport. If electric cars replaced petrol and diesel cars, and the electricity used came from renewable energy sources, electric cars could be one of the ways to reduce emissions from transport.,   , In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Stock of passenger cars (BIL52),  , In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on New registrations of passenger cars (BIL51), Energy taxes, In Denmark, we have taxes on most types of energy. Energy taxes have multiple purposes, one being to influence and reduce our consumption of energy. Energy taxes cover taxes on electricity, petrol, fuel oil etc., in addition to the carbon dioxide tax on various types of fuel., In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Environmental taxes (MRS1),  , See further in the analysis , Drivhusgasafgifter - hvad er det, og hvem betaler?, (in Danish),  , The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Statistics Denmark reports on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and on our SDG platform, you can see a vast number of indicators showing how Denmark is doing in terms of fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals., International comparisons, In proportion to the global greenhouse gas emissions, the Danish emissions only constitute a very small part. Obviously, the emissions of large countries with a large population are different from those of small countries such as Denmark. Big countries and economies, such as China and USA, are also the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases., Source: Data from Climate Watch via Our World in Data, available at , Our World in Data - Greenhouse gas emissions, Emissions per capita in European countries, Instead of looking at the greenhouse gas emissions of individual countries, you can look at the average emissions per capita., The average emissions per capita in Denmark are slightly lower than the EU average. In the EU, the highest emissions per capita are found in Luxembourg, whereas Sweden have the lowest due to their high production of non-fossil energy from hydropower, for example., In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Greenhouse gas emissions per capita (TEMA9008), Renewable energy in selected countries, If we compare the share of energy consumption that comes from renewable energy sources in Denmark with that of the rest of the world, Denmark has a relatively high share. However, in comparison with Norway and Sweden, Denmark has a low share., There are also major differences in the type of renewable energy. While biomass and electricity from wind turbines are predominant in Denmark, and hydropower is predominant in Sweden, the high share of renewable energy production in Brazil is based on the incineration of sugar cane., Share of the energy consumption that comes from renewable energy sources, In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data on Renewable energy share of energy consumption (TEMA9003), Note: Exclusive of energy consumption from Danish transport operations abroad., Source: OECD, IEA World Energy Statistics and Balances., At , Eurostat’s topic page on climate, change, you can find further information on climate change and international data for comparison and for putting the Danish figures into perspective.,  ,  ,  , Contact person for this theme page, Maria Skytte Christiansen, T: 24 25 42 07, E: , mcr@dst.dk,  ,

The statistics create a basis for a number of analyses on demography and society and are used as a basis for planning tasks on a national, regional and municipal level. In their basic form, the statistics have been compiled since 1769 but have undergone a series of changes as society developed and legislation followed. Most of the present table series in Statbank Denmark comprise data from 2007 and forward, while a few of these go back further., Statistical presentation, The population statistics are usually a quarterly aggregation of the population living in Denmark broken down by e.g. sex, age, ancestry, marital status and municipality of residence. In connection with COVID-19, however, the number of deceased persons was aggregated on a weekly basis broken down by date of death, age bracket and province. The population statistics show the population in figures at the reference date in terms of persons, households and families. The statistics also show changes in the population, such as births, deaths and migrations etc., in the period between the two reference dates. Similarly, the statistics contain information about fertility, life expectancy and divorce rate. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for the statistics is collected on a daily basis from the Civil Registration System (CPR) by means of a system-to-system solution. The civil registration number and the updating of residence information and marital status information etc. is required for a vast number of public services, which serves as continuous validation of the content of the register. The number of immigrants, descendants, households, families, marriages and divorces is assessed on the basis of data from the Civil Registration System. It is also used to calculate e.g. fertility rates, life expectancy and divorce rates. In addition, data is applied from the Birth Register and the Cause of Death Register from the Danish Health Data Authority from which data is collected annually., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, These statistics are relevant for municipalities, regions, ministries, other government organisations and private companies in analyses of a number of conditions of society and as a basis for planning of e.g. schools, roads, facilities and services for the elderly etc. Statistics Denmark also uses the basic data and results of the statistics for a vast number of other assessments., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The statistics are based on the population registered in the Civil Registration System (CPR). Since correct registration in CPR is a condition for being able to lead a normal life in Denmark, the general quality and reliability of the register is regarded as very high. Failure to report immigrations and emigrations means that the published population is considered to be overestimated by 10,000 people or 0.14 per cent., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are usually published one and a half months after the end of the reference period. The statistics are released without delay according to the scheduled dates of publication. The weekly publication of the number of deaths is released five days after the reference week. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Denmark bases its population statistics on an administrative register, which also applies for a few other countries, whereas many countries take censuses every five or ten years. The population figure for the period 1971 and onwards is based on the same source, i.e. the Civil Registration System (CPR). The population figure from before this period is based on censuses., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in “Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik” (in Danish). Figures for the population and its movements are published in Statbank Denmark. In addition, the figures are included in the publications , Befolkningens udvikling, and , Indvandrere i Danmark, (both in Danish with summaries in English).

The estimate is subject to a number of conditions and assumptions on migration, mortality and fertility. The projection is based on the assumption that the development in recent years continues. Often the development in e.g. in-migration is different from what was assumed and, for that reason, the projection will typically not match the actual development exactly., Statistics Denmark has prepared population projections since 1963. Since 2010, the projections have been produced in collaboration with DREAM (Danish Research Institute for Economic Analysis and Modelling), which is an independent institution whose purpose it is to develop and maintain tools for structural policy analysis. , Statistical presentation, Based on the projection for all of Denmark, Statistics Denmark subsequently makes projections that can be disaggregated by sex, age, provinces and municipalities. As part of the projections, figures are also available on demographic changes in terms of liveborn children, deaths, immigrants and emigrants., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The population projections are based on historical data regarding the composition of the population in terms of sex, age and ancestry as well as fertility, mortality, immigration and emigration, and internal migration., Assumptions on the future development in fertility, mortality and migration are necessary to be able to make the projections., The projections are made every year using the population on 1 January. They are released in the beginning of May., A projection is made for the whole country as well as projections for the 11 provinces and 98 municipalities., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The projections for municipalities are widely used by the municipalities, and they create the basis for the municipalities’ own projections, which often incorporate a number of local factors that are not part of Statistics Denmark’s projections. The municipalities may use the projections in their planning of institutions, schools and the need for nursing homes in the future. Local media across the country take great interest in Statistics Denmark’s projection., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The population projection is built on previous years’ development and is an estimate of the population development. The estimate is subject to a number of conditions and assumptions on migration, mortality and fertility. The projection is based on the assumption that the development seen in recent years will continue. Often the development in e.g. in-migration is different from what was assumed and, for that reason, the projection will typically not match the actual development exactly., In 2024 the projection for Denmark was 0.1 percentage points below actual population growth. To a wide extent, the uncertainty at municipal level is linked to the fact that local development plans and local decisions are not part of the model. Especially in 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainty. In 2024, 60 per cent of the municipalities were within minus 0.5 percentage points of the actual population growth the first year. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Statistics have been published as announced without delay in the month of May or June., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Each projection is a new set of statistics and must not be used for time series together with previous projections., With the projection 2010, Statistics Denmark made the projection for all of Denmark for the first time in collaboration with DREAM, and in connection with this, a switch was made to a new projection model based on DREAM’s previous model., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The population projections are published in Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik (Statistics Denmark’s news series in Danish) under the subject , Population projections, .

The statistics are among other things used to estimate the business trends in the construction sector. The principal figures, i.e. without geographic distributions, is comparable back to 1998 and onwards, but historical surveys for the construction activity is available back to 1916., Statistical presentation, The quarterly construction statistics is a measurement of all construction activity demanding a building permit, stated in aggregated floor area in square meters and number of dwellings. The statistics are grouped by phase of construction, type of builder, type of building project and geographically, municipalities, regions and province. The statistics are published in the newsletter Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik (in Danish only) and in the Statbank., The COVID-19 crisis should not have an impact on this statistic. We haves been in contact with several municipalities and the feedback is that their work registering construction in The Central Register of Buildings and Dwellings on which this statistic is based is not affected and continues as before., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The construction activity statistics are compiled on the basis of data extracted from the Central Register of Buildings and Dwellings and is updated quarterly. Data valuations (correct errors) and a number of controls (valuations of quality) are carried out. Furthermore, different diverted variables and delimitations are formed. There are both non-corrected figures ("raw" figures) and corrected figures (because of delayed reporting). The quarterly publications also contain a seasonally adjustment., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistics are used by a wide range of users, from both the private and the public sector, news media and Eurostat. From the private sector users are mainly large companies and business organizations, while mainly ministries and municipalities represent the public sector. , Furthermore, The statistics are used as input in the national accounts statistics, published quarterly by Statistics Denmark to calculate the gross value added for the construction sector and as input in other parts of Statistics Denmark, e.g. to calculate rent., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, In general, the latest figures for the construction activity must be regarded with reservations, because the data source is uncertain. The main source of inaccuracy is the delays in the municipality's data registrations in the Central Register of Buildings and Dwellings. The estimates made by Statistics Denmark attempt to address this problem. The model estimate the delays for the latest 18 months and revises the figures in respect hereof. The estimate is encumbered with uncertainty, because there is not a steady pattern in the size and causes of the delays. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics of construction are published quarterly (monthly as well as quarterly statistics). The statistics are published at the beginning of May, August, November and February. The punctuality is high and there are very few delays in relation to the scheduled dates., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The greatest obstacle for the comparability over time is the change in 1981 from the survey-based statistic to the register-based statistic (BBR).

The statistic constitutes a part of the strategic goal of long life learning., which is a central feature in EU's strategy to increase the competitiveness of European enterprises hen hence the economic growth., Statistical presentation, The data collected in the CVTS surveys (CVTS = Continual Vocational Training Survey) describes the enterprises activities in relation to continuing vocational training in the enterprises. The variables are specified in The European Parliament and Council Regulation No 1552/2005. Primarily it concerns the various types of training artivities, time usage and costs involved in the activities as well as planning aspects. In relation to CVTS2006 some variables are not included in CVTS2011. A few variables have been removed in CVTS2016 and a few has been simplified when compared to CVTS2011. Special COVID-19 questions were included in CVTS2020., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Various procedures were conducted for data controlling and high quality. To assure consistency, answers which were not logic were checked and corrected by follow up by contact to the responding enterprises if necessary. Furthermore, an imputation on core variables was applied, the variables specified by Eurostat.

The theaters divided into state-subsidized and non-state-subsidized theaters. Statistics for the state-subsidized theaters have been prepared since the season 1980/1981. Statistics for the non-state-subsidized theaters have been prepared since the 2003/2004 season. Statistics on international guest performances on both state-sponsored and non state-subsidized theaters have been prepared since the 2004/2005 season. In season 2005/2006 was the concert and culture hosted international guest performances also included in the statistics. The figures for the season 2015/2016 are not directly comparable with previous figures as there has been a data break. , Statistical presentation, The statistics show annual seasonal activities, productions, performances, spectators and primary audiences at the state-supported and non-state-supported professional theatres. For each production there is information about genre, theater category, activity, stage and audience group.. For the season 2020/2021 and forward, the statistics have been revised, where the number of categories with regards to theatres, genre and audience group have been expanded. Therefore there has been a data break. Two new tables in Statbank has been developed, SCENE08A and SCENE10A, which are consistent back to season 2015/2016. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for this statistics is collected annually from individual theaters via an electronic questionnaire. The collected data is validated for consistency and compared with previous seasons. After validation, the data is aggregated, and imputation is performed for missing responses. Special considerations are taken for extraordinary circumstances, such as closures and restrictions related to COVID-19 during the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 seasons, as well as to some extent in the subsequent seasons, where additional statistical treatment was necessary., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Key users are the Ministry of Culture, government, public and private organizations, researchers and the press. There has not been a user satisfaction., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Reporting for the Performing Arts statistic is voluntary. Therefore, the statistics are not fully comprehensive. Several of the non-state-subsidized theaters report that they do not have resources to cooperate in the investigation. Many reporters are small theater producers / project theaters that receive government subsidies to develop a single production. It can be difficult to get reports from some of these reporters. Yet it is estimated that performing arts statistics cover the majority of activities in performing arts, as all large and medium state-subsidized and non-subsidized theaters, participate in the study in each season., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, These statistics are published approximately six months after the end of the season.

The primary use is as deflators (converting nominal values to real values), but is also used as a business cycle indicator and for contract adjustments in the business sector. The index can be divided into Producer price index for commodities, Import price index for commodities and Price index for domestic commodities supply. The Price index for domestic supply of commodities can be traced back to 1876 and in the current form back to 1981. Producer Price Index for Commodities dates back to 2000 and Import Price Index for Commodities to 2005., Statistical presentation, The Producer and Import Price Index for Commodities contains monthly indices of the price development of commodities in the first stage of turnover (business-to-business), i.e. typically sales from producer to wholesaler or retailer, for commodities produced by Denmark for the domestic market and export, or for commodities imported into Denmark. The statistics are divided by product and industry groups., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Approximately 7800 prices from selected producers and importers in Denmark. Of these, approximately 3800price reports for calculation of Producer Price Index for Commodities, approximately 3600 for calculation of Import Price Index for Commodities and approximately 5900 price reports are used to calculate the Price Index for Domestic Supply. The prices are validated automatically in connection with the collection. Unusually large price developments are subsequently checked manually. The validated price developments are then aggregated in a hierarchical system, where they are given weight according to their significance to the overall price index., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The Producer and Import price index for commodities serves as economic key figures, cyclical indicator, deflator and a contract regulations tool. The primary users of the statistics are the Danish National Accounts, business and stakeholders in the Danish economy. The statistics meet all the requirements of the EU in terms of industry coverage, aggregation level, frequency and publication date, etc., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The prices covered by the data collection have a direct coverage of approximately 70 percent of total revenue in the Danish economy. Weights are based on the National Accounts product balances, which covers the main part of trading in the first stage of sales within the delimitation of the statistics. Sample units are selected on a purposive basis using a top-down approach. As a random sampling method is not being utilised a subsequent assessment of sampling error is not enabled. , Published statistics are considered final. , Producer and import price index for commodities are not considered to have an increased uncertainty due to COVID-19.
