Denmark's total greenhouse gas emissions per capita stood at 12.7 metric tons of CO2 in 2023. Forecasts for the subsequent years indicate a consistent decline: 12.5 metric tons in 2024, 12.3 metric tons in 2025, 12.1 metric tons in 2026, 11.9 metric tons in 2027, and 11.7 metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year reductions are 1.57% for 2024, 1.60% for 2025, 1.63% for 2026, and 1.68% for 2027 and 2028. Over the last two years, the reduction averaged about 1.6% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is roughly -1.6%, indicating a positive long-term trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of emerging green technologies, policy changes aimed at accelerating carbon reductions, and shifts in energy consumption patterns. These factors could further influence Denmark's ability to meet or surpass its greenhouse gas reduction targets.
