Arctic Climate

The rapid global climate changes are especially evident in the Arctic. The Danish Energy Agency is participating in climate change effects monitoring through international cooperation in the Arctic as well as administration of the Dancea funding programme

Arctic Council

The Arctic countries have a common responsibility for the Arctic environment. In 1996 the Arctic Council was formed to ensure cooperation on development and environmental protection in the Arctic. The Danish Realm is taking part in this work.

Dancea Climate Fund

Since 1994 a Danish environmental funding programme for the Arctic has existed. The programme is called Dancea and is part of the Danish effort in fulfilling the international obligations in the Arctic.

Greenland Climate Monitoring

Research in the Greenlandic climatic conditions contributes to an improved overview of the climate change impacts in the Arctic and in the rest of the world.

International Climate Monitoring

Monitoring of the Arctic climate is carried out under the auspices of, among others, the Arctic Council. Denmark is involved in AMAP – a programme monitoring environmental and climate conditions in the Arctic.
