Contact info, National Accounts, Climate and Environment , Peter Rørmose Jensen , +45 40 13 51 26 , PRJ@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Climate footprint (experimental statistics) 2021 , Previous versions, The purpose of the statistics is to measure the global emission of greenhouse gases from the supply chains for Danish final use (Danish consumption, investment and export). It illustrates correlations between Danish final use and emissions of greenhouse gases from Danish and international production. Global emission of greenhouse gases from Danish consumption and investment constitutes Denmark's Climate Footprint. The statistic is experimental and have been prepared since 2021 in collaboration with the Danish Energy Agency, which uses it for the annual publication "Danmarks Globale Klimapåvirkning – Global Afrapportering"., Statistical presentation, The statistics show the amount of greenhouse gas that has been emitted in the supply chains for Danish final use annually from 1990 onwards. The emissions are distributed by type of final use, emitting industries and countries, as well as by supplying industries., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The climate footprint is calculated with a multi-regional environmental economic input-output (MRIO) model that links data from Statistics Denmark on Danish production and greenhouse gas emissions with data from the international database EXIOBASE on international production and greenhouse gas emissions., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The climate footprint is relevant for everyone who is interested in relations between Danish consumption and investment and global emissions of greenhouse gases. The climate footprint is prepared in collaboration with the Danish Energy Agency's Center for System Analysis, which uses it in their annual report "Danmarks Globale Klimapåvirkning – Global Afrapportering"., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The overall precision of the statistics is not as high as other statistics from Statistics Denmark, which are based on directly observable data. The majority of the figures in this statistic are the result of calculations with Danish and international input-output models. The international input-output model in particular is uncertain because it is a compilation of figures from many countries of uneven quality. However, it is assessed that the precision is as good as it can be at the present time, when available sources and methods are taken into account., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The climate footprint is an experimental statistic and does not yet have a fixed publication time. When a publication date is determined, it is published in Statistics Denmark's publication calendar., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics are compiled for 1990 and onwards and are comparable over time. The statistics have been produced in collaboration with the Danish Energy Agency and are used for the Danish Energy Agency's report "Danmarks Globale Klimapåvirkning – Global Afrapportering". there will therefore be full agreement between results published by the Danish Energy Agency and Statistics Denmark., As there is not yet full international agreement on methods and data bases for calculating climate footprints, there will not necessarily be full comparability with the calculations of other institutions or other countries., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, In the Statbank, the climate footprint is published under the subject , Energy and emissions, in the tables AFTRYK1 and AFTRYK2., Read more about accessibility and clarity

The accounting information is gathered directly from central government, regions, and municipalities, while data from the public companies are collected by the use of surveys. The accounting information is checked for errors, along others by comparing to the previous year's accounts, and a macro-validation is carried out on the most detailed industrial classification. The gathered data covers the full population, and as such no further calculations are necessary., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The primary users are the ministries of economic affairs, interest organisations, politicians, educational institutions, and the interested public.

Accounting information is obtained from central and local government accounts and furthermore from questionnaires. Some accounting information is adjusted to the terminology used in the national accounts system and therefore deviates from normal accounting conventions. Furthermore, public corporations may use different methods of accounting. Accounting data entered wrongly are also a source of error, which is minimized by comparison with information from the previous year. If necessary, the company in question is contacted to validate the data., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistic is published in December the year after the latest accounting year and without delays., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, These statistics are comparable from 1993 and onwards.

The agricultural statistics, however, are much older than that with figures for number of farms, livestock, crops etc. going back to around 1900. , Statistical presentation, The farm structure statistics are yearly and include figures on number of farms, livestock, crops and technology distributed by for instance size and geography.

The precision is thus highest for the total agricultural area and less precise for specific crops, especially crops grown by only few farmers. Likewise the precision is best for livestock which many farmers have. This is in particular true for cattle. In the same way the uncertainty is high for small geographical units, e.g. Bornholm., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The survey is published about 9-12 after the survey day. This difference is due to the fact that survey varies in size from year to year, both with respect to the questionnaire and the sample size., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The survey is almost comparable from 1982 onwards. There is also a high degree of comparability with other European countries. Between 2009 and 2010 there is, however, a small break in the comparability since the statistics from 2010 onwards includes a number of small farms and additionally farms with fur animals. It means that the number of farms in 2010 is about 1.200 bigger than it otherwise would have been., From around 1900 to 1981 the statistical surveys also included very small farms with an area of only hectares.

Quality of the land use accounts is considered to be good, but the uncertainties are bigger than for the land cover. This is because the method is new and these accounts are the first published of their kind. As for many other statistics, the higher level of detail, the higher the uncertainties. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Statistics on the size of Denmark's land area is published by the end of February, in the year following the reference year.

In the grain balance, the amount of grain from harvest and import is calculated, and it is distributed among different uses. The statistics are used to calculate the Economic Accounts for Agriculture. Supply balance sheets for cereals for the crop year have been compiled since 1900/01. Balance sheets for the calendar year have been compiled since 1961. Data in its present form is comparable from 1995 onwards., Statistical presentation, The statistics is an annual calculation of the supply balance sheets for cereals in million kg. The utilization of cereals is calculated both for calendar year and crop years and is published for 6 different cereals and cereals in total. The supply balance sheets contain for each type of cereals statistics on cereals available: harvest, imports and initial stocks, as well as statistics on the use of cereals for different purposes: exports, final stocks, seeds, flour production and other manufacturing, feeding.
