About The Danish Council on Climate Change

The Danish Council on Climate Change is an independent body of experts that advises on how the transition to a low-carbon society can be done in a cost effective manner so that in the future we can live in a Denmark of very low greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining welfare and development.

The DCCC provides status updates and recommendations

In this report, the DCCC assesses Danish climate policy and looks ahead to the important decisions that are to come. The DCCC conducts ongoing analyses of specific topics and provides recommendations for climate policy, guiding the Danish government and the Parliament. The Status Outlook summarises the past year's work and puts it into a comprehensive framework.

In this year's report, emissions from Danish land areas are a recurring theme. It is challenging to measure these emissions from the land, whether they come from forests or agricultural land. Therefore, predictions about the prospects of meeting climate targets become highly uncertain.

The report also focusses on the EU. While the report contains a separate EU chapter, the EU dimension permeates many other themes of the report. Danish climate policy cannot be separated from the European climate policy, and the scope for climate policy in Denmark depends largely on the EU.
