The Danish sustainability indicators
The Danish sustainability indicators are a supplement to the “Global Goals for Sustainable Development”. They are the result of the project Our Goals, which put the UN Global Goals in a Danish context. The Danish indicators show what the Danes find important when it comes to social, economic and resource-related sustainability in Denmark., Read the completion report: Make Global Goals Our Goals, Statistics Denmark and the 2030-Panel have published 197 new Danish indicators to translate the 17 UN Global Goals into a Danish context. The indicators are based on input from more than 6,000 Danish companies, organisations, researchers and dedicated citizens. Read the report and see the Danes’ approach to sustainable development in Denmark., For questions and other requests for the Our Goals project as well as the completion report, write to: , Verdensmaal@dst.dk,

The statistics also do not include disconnections caused by outages or other technical issues., The Danish Utility Regulator (Forsyningstilsynet) publishes annual statistics on electricity supply disconnections and the reasons for them. The purpose of the statistics is to ensure transparency regarding the extent of disconnections due to non-payment, thereby providing an informed basis for assessing whether special measures are needed to protect financially vulnerable consumers., Source: , The Danish Utility Regulator (Forsyningstilsynet)., Last updated:, 28-02-2026

The figures are expressed as tons of CO2e per million DKK gross value added, providing a measure of how climate-intensive economic activity is across sectors. A higher value indicates a greater climate impact per unit of economic output, while a lower value indicates a smaller climate impact. Biomass combustion is excluded, so the values reflect only other greenhouse gas emissions. Gross value added is calculated in 2020 prices, chain-linked values, meaning that price developments (inflation) are adjusted for, allowing comparisons over time. , Source: Statistics Denmark, table , DRIVHUS, and , NABP10, ., Last updated:, 19-09-2025

The implementation of the EU Directive 2007/60/EC of 23 October 2007 means that all member states must plan for the management of extreme flooding., In Denmark, the Minister for the Environment, through the Danish Coastal Authority (Kystdirektoratet), is responsible for implementing the directive. The purpose of the Flood Risk Act is to assess and manage the risk of flooding in particularly vulnerable areas within a national context. The law aims to reduce the negative consequences of potential flooding for human health, the environment, cultural heritage, and economic activity. You can read more about the Danish Coastal Authority’s designation of risk areas , here, ., Two planning periods have been completed: 2010–2015 and 2016–2022. At the beginning of the third planning period (2023–2027), the national risk assessment was revised based on evaluations of the previous periods. In this connection, the , method for designating risk areas, was changed, which resulted in a significant increase in the number of designated areas in 2024. The next designation round is expected to take place towards the end of 2029. The data source is the Danish Coastal Authority., Last updated:, 18-03-2026

Oxygen depletion occurs when the oxygen concentration in the water is 4 mg/L or lower, and it is classified as severe when it falls below 2 mg/L. Moderate oxygen depletion (2-4 mg/L) causes fish and mobile seabed animals to move away. This phenomenon mainly occurs from July to November, with data provided for the month of September. The most extensive severe oxygen depletion was recorded in 2002, covering 4,341 km², while moderate oxygen depletion extended over 8,634 km². The average for the period 1989-2009 was 996 km² for severe oxygen depletion and 2,899 km² for moderate oxygen depletion. , Source: National Centre for Environment and Energy, Aarhus University., Last updated:, 31-10-2025

See the EU list and the national list of invasive species , here, . A species may be invasive in other parts of Europe and therefore appear on the EU list without being invasive in Denmark.
