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 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.

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.

Definition
The data shows the trend in Denmark’s total greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2 from burning biomass. 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).

Definition
The data shows the evolution of CO2 equivalents in Denmark and the path to the goal of a reduction of 70 per cent compared to 1990. The total greenhouse gas emissions are calculated in CO2 e. 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 calculation of the indicator follows the guidelines of the UN Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the underlying Kyoto Protocol. The Danish calculations of greenhouse gas emissions contain all the sources described in the IPCC guidelines. The figures exclude international shipping and aviation, activities of Danish companies abroad and the burning of biomass. Source: Danish Centre for Environment and Energy, Aarhus University.

Oxygen depletion in inner Danish waters
Definition
The data shows the trends in the extent of oxygen depletion in inner Danish waters. Oxygen depletion refers to an oxygen concentration of 4 mg of oxygen per litre of water or lower, and severe oxygen depletion is an oxygen concentration below 2 mg of oxygen per litre of water. The level between 2 and 4 mg of oxygen per litre of water is called moderate oxygen depletion. With moderate oxygen depletion, fish and more mobile bottom dwelling organisms begin trying to move away. Oxygen depletion occurs mainly from July to November when the temperature rises, which is why the data are for these months. Source: Danish Centre for Environment and Energy, Aarhus University.

The data shows the status of the fulfilment of the targets for watercourses and lakes. The data for the targets are from individual evaluations for the water area districts of Jutland and Funen, Zealand, Bornholm and international.

The condition of the watercourses is assessed on the basis of the quality elements small animals, plants and fish. The condition of the lakes is assessed on the basis of the quality elements phytoplankton, chlorophyll, macrophytes (aquatic plants) in cases where it is not possible to use phytoplankton and fish.
