Publication: Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Danish Economy

Temapublikationen handler om udslippet af drivhusgasser fra dansk økonomi og findes kun på engelsk. Den er baseret på Danmarks Statistiks miljøregnskab., Formålet med , Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Danish Economy, er at beskrive de udslip af CO2 og andre drivhusgasser, som er forårsaget af danske økonomiske aktiviteter., Publikationen beskriver omfanget af udslip fra erhvervslivet og husholdningerne. Desuden indeholder publikationen en række resultater om, hvad udviklingen i dansk økonomis struktur og den økonomiske vækst har betydet for udviklingen i udslippet af drivhusgasser., Al information om udslippene er knyttet til det danske nationalregnskab og de såkaldte input-output-tabeller gennem fælles klassifikationer og definitioner. Sammenknytningen muliggør, som det er vist i publikationen, analyser af samspillet mellem økonomiske aktiviteter og miljøet., Konklusioner, Udledningen af drivhusgasser fra dansk økonomi var 130 mio. tons i 2007, når udslippene omregnes til CO2-ækvivalenter. CO2 er den vigtigste drivhusgas og udslippet af CO2 alene udgjorde 117 mio. tons svarende til 21 tons pr. dansker., Opgørelsen inkluderer såvel udslip fra international sø- og lufttransport som udslip fra biomasse anvendt som brændsel. Hvis sidstnævnte udelades, og principperne bag indberetningen til Kyoto-protokollen anvendes, kan det danske udslip af drivhusgasser opgøres til 66 mio. tons, hvoraf CO2 alene bidrager med 52 tons. Det svarer til 10 tons pr. dansker. Således er det kun halvdelen af udledningen af drivhusgasser fra danske økonomiske aktiviteter, der er omfattet af Kyoto-protokollen., Fra 1990 til 2007 steg det danske bruttonationalprodukt (BNP) i faste priser med 40 pct. Mens de samlede CO2 udslip, inklusive udslippene fra international transport, steg endnu mere, er den økonomiske vækst og udslippene for de fleste erhverv ikke længere tæt forbundet. Hvis udslippene fra international transport fraregnes, var stigningen i CO2 udslippene kun 8 pct. Og hvis også udslip fra anvendelsen af biomasse freregnes, var der et fald i udslippene på 4 pct., Se flere konklusioner i , Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik, ., Presentation of the publication in English, The purpose of this publication which is based on Statistics Denmark's Environmental Accounts for Denmark, is to describe the emissions of greenhouse gases caused by Danish economic activities., The publication describes the extent of emissions from the industries and the households. Furthermore, the publication contains analytical results on the relationship between the structure of the Danish economy and the economic development on one hand and the emissions of greenhouse gases on the other., All information on the emissions is linked consistently with the Danish national accounts and the so-called input-output tables through common classifications and definitions. The link facilitates, as shown in this publication, analyses of the interaction between the economic activities and the environment., Conclusions, The emissions of greenhouse gases from the Danish economy were 130 million tonnes in 2007 when converted into CO2 equivalents. CO2 is the predominant greenhouse gas, and the CO2 emissions alone were 117 million tonnes, corresponding to 21 tonnes per Dane., These estimates include emissions from international sea and air transport as well as emissions from biomass used as fuel. If the latter categories are excluded, by using the principles for reporting to the Kyoto Protocol, the Danish emissions of all greenhouse gas emissions were 66 million tonnes CO2 equivalents with CO2 alone contributing 52 million tonnes. The latter figure corresponds to 10 tonnes per Dane. Thus, the reporting to the Kyoto protocol only accounts for less than half of the total, emissions from the Danish economy., From 1990 to 2007, the Danish GDP at constant prices increased by 40 percent. While the total CO2 emissions, including the emissions from international transport activities rose even more, economic growth and CO2 emissions are no longer linked together for most of the Danish industries. If emissions from international transport are excluded, the increase in CO2 emissions was only 8 percent. And if also emissions from biomass are excluded, emissions show a 4 percent decrease over the period., The publication has not been printed as a book., Get as pdf, Entire publication, Colophone, Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Danish Economy, Environment and energy, ISBN pdf: 978-87-501-1809-1, Released: 18 November 2009 09:30, No of pages: 66, Contact info:, Ole Gravgård Pedersen, Phone: +45 30 89 28 39

Quality in official statistics

Several factors characterise the quality of official statistics even if it is often accuracy that is focused on when talking about quality - that is, how precisely the statistics describe reality. For the users, however, it is also important that the statistics are relevant so that they describe the phenomenon the user is interested in. The statistics must also be timely enough for it to be a basis for decisions, and it must therefore not take too long before it is published. Time series that describe the development in an area and are comparable to similar developments in other countries are often important. For the users, the statistics must also be accessible – readily available, easy to locate and presented through formats that enable understanding.,  , What is official statistics?, Statistics contribute to decisions at all levels in Danish society being made on the basis of credible and objective information - everything from government policy and research to the actions of private companies and the everyday choices of individuals. A prerequisite for this, however, is that there are standards that ensure that the statistics are credible and objective. To address this issue, the concept of ‘Official Statistics’ has been introduced in the Act on Statistics Denmark. The act stipulates that statistics that are publicly produced and that meet a number of quality criteria can be called official statistics. For all public authorities that produce statistics, guidelines for official statistics have been prepared, which are described in more detail on the , Official Statistics Portal,  (in Danish only).,  , Common quality framework, European Statistics Code of Practice, The European Statistics Code of Practice is the cornerstone of the common framework for the quality of European Statistics. The Code of Practice consists of 16 principles covering institutional environment, statistical processes and statistical output. The Code of Practice was adopted in 2005 and revised in 2011 and 2017., The Code of Practice is designed to strengthen confidence in the European Statistical System and to ensure that all producers of official statistics in the EU apply the best international statistical principles and methods., European Statistics Code of Practice (pdf), In support of the Code of Practice, a Quality Assurance Framework has been developed. This supports the quality requirements and provides advice on methods, tools and practices that can be useful in implementing measures to be able to comply the Code of Practice., Quality Assurance Framework of the European Statistical System (pdf),  , UN’s Fundamental Principles, UN’s Fundamental Principles for Official statistics, Principle 1. Official statistics provide an indispensable element in the information system of a democratic society, serving the Government, the economy and the public with data about the economic, demographic, social and environmental situation. To this end, official statistics that meet the test of practical utility are to be compiled and made available on an impartial basis by official statistical agencies to honour citizens’ entitlement to public information. , Principle 2. To retain trust in official statistics, the statistical agencies need to decide according to strictly professional considerations, including scientific principles and professional ethics, on the methods and procedures for the collection, processing, storage and presentation of statistical data. , Principle 3. To facilitate a correct interpretation of the data, the statistical agencies are to present information according to scientific standards on the sources, methods and procedures of the statistics. , Principle 4. The statistical agencies are entitled to comment on erroneous interpretation and misuse of statistics., Principle 5. Data for statistical purposes may be drawn from all types of sources, be they statistical surveys or administrative records. Statistical agencies are to choose the source with regard to quality, timeliness, costs and the burden on respondents. , Principle 6. Individual data collected by statistical agencies for statistical compilation, whether they refer to natural or legal persons, are to be strictly confidential and used exclusively for statistical purposes. , Principle 7. The laws, regulations and measures under which the statistical systems operate are to be made public. , Principle 8. Coordination among statistical agencies within countries is essential to achieve consistency and efficiency in the statistical system. , Principle 9. The use by statistical agencies in each country of international concepts, classifications and methods promotes the consistency and efficiency of statistical systems at all official levels. , Principle 10. Bilateral and multilateral cooperation in statistics contributes to the improvement of systems of official statistics in all countries.,  ,  , European quality evaluation – ESS peer review , Evaluations and reviews of Statistics Denmark, including international evaluations, are carried out at regular intervals, for example, ESS peer reviews. The purpose of peer reviews is to evaluate whether the EU Member States and EFTA-countries comply with the 16 basic principles of official statistics as set out in the Code of Conduct for European Statistics. In addition, coordination within the national statistical system as well as integration in relation to the ESS is evaluated., In the spring of 2022, Denmark was last assessed by a European expert team. The European team of experts, organized by Eurostat, made their assessment of the production of statistics through documentation and self-assessment. The expert team had dialogues with Statistics Denmark, other national producers of European statistics, the media and other users of European statistics as well as representatives of suppliers of data for statistical production. The other producers of European statistics that also were assessed were the Danish Energy Agency, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency and the Danish Immigration Service. As a result of the peer review, the expert team has delivered recommendations that can contribute to improving the quality of official statistics in Denmark., Peer review report 2022 (pdf), Follow-up on the European Peer Review 2022, In the spring of 2022, Statistics Denmark was last assessed by a team of European experts in a peer review. Following the peer review, a report is prepared with recommendations for improvements. Statistics Denmark has, in response to these recommendations, developed a series of improvement actions, which we will work to implement towards 2027. Our improvement actions can be found in the document below., The improvement actions were formulated at the end of 2022, but has not been published before November 2024, as a prolonged harmonization process in Eurostat has delayed the process. In some areas, this delay could result in processes being initiated that are not described in our improvement actions, or that some measures has lost their relevance and timeliness., Follow up on peer review - improvement action (pdf),  , Two rounds of peer reviews have previously been conducted - in 2007 and in 2015:, Peer review report 2015 (pdf), Peer review report 2007 (pdf),  ,
