Analysis
Denmark recorded 4.28 t CO2e/capita for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions excluding lulucf per capita in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of down 2.9% on the previous year and down 33.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions excluding lulucf per capita in Denmark peaked at 14.06 t CO2e/capita in 1996 and was at its lowest, 4.28 t CO2e/capita, in 2024.
That places Denmark 63rd out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
Total annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
