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.

The food production industry¿s emissions of CO2e
Definition
The data shows the trend in the food production industry’s total emissions of greenhouse gases, including CO2 from burning biomass, per DKKm of market value. The total greenhouse gas emissions are calculated in CO2 equivalents (CO2e). This is done by converting emissions of other greenhouse gases, including, for example, methane gas, to the same unit as CO2 using conversion factors from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The indicator covers emissions from Danish production and shows both emissions from the direct and indirect production of food.
