Denmark's Climate Policy Objectives and Achievements

5. Progress concerning the other commitments under articles 10 and 11 of the Kyoto Protocol

In accordance with the Climate Convention and articles 10 and 11 of the Kyoto Protocol, Denmark is continuously:

improving the emission inventories etc.: the national system for making emission inventories under the Kyoto Protocol is being established,
ensuring the introduction, dissemination, and transfer of climate-friendly technology: the Danish Government is giving high priority to scientific research and development, including green technology, which is included in the Government platform. In the EU, heads of state and government have encouraged Member States to prepare ”roadmaps” for efforts to be made concerning environmental technology, including relevant measures and timetables. The Government will – as also encouraged to by the Danish Parliament, Folketinget - continue its focused efforts to promote development and use of environmentally efficient technologies and prepare a Danish action plan for environmental technology and a report to Folketinget,
promoting co-operation in scientific and technological research: Danish universities and businesses are co-operating in developing climate-friendly technology, in part with the support of a number of research programmes, including the Energy Research Programme, which is mentioned in Denmark's Fourth National Communication,
supporting capacity-building concerning climate, especially in developing countries: Denmark has a long tradition of giving assistance to and supporting capacity building in developing countries, also concerning climate, as shown in e.g. Denmark's Fourth National Communication, and
giving assistance to implement the Climate Convention in developing countries: Danish assistance to developing countries, not least the poorest countries, also includes assistance to implement the Climate Convention.

Additional information on these activities is available in Denmark's Fourth National Communication on Climate Change.
