A study made by a research organization in Norway, shows that Denmark’s CO2 emissions per capita are the 33th highest in the world. To show a different picture, the researchers included in the calculations the CO2 emissions produced by the imported products in Denmark. The large climate footprint comes from the fact that we enjoy a high level of prosperity (we afford to fly often and buy in large quantities food, clothes, and electronics).
- Denmark is branded as a “green superpower”. This new study puts that title in danger and opens up the discussion of overconsumption in Danish society.
