Analysis
Denmark recorded 4.20 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions by world region, gaps filled in 2024. That is the highest value across all 182 years on record.
That represents a change of up 0.7% on the previous year and up 8.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions by world region, gaps filled in Denmark peaked at 4.20 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 135,568 tonnes, in 1843.
That places Denmark 47th out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
