Denmark lies at about 55º N and 11º E and consists of the Jutland peninsula and more than 400 islands. Denmark has a population of 5.7 million and a total area of 43,000 km2. More than 61% of the area is used for agricultural purposes, while 13% is forested and 14% is towns, roads and scattered housing, while the rest consists of natural areas, including lakes, watercourses, heath, among others. Denmark has a distinctly coastal climate, with mild, damp winters and cool, unsettled summers. However, the weather in Denmark is greatly affected by the proximity of both the sea and the continent. This means that the weather can change, depending on the prevailing wind direction. Denmark’s coastline has a length of more than 7,300 km. To protect low-lying land against flooding and storm surge, it has been necessary to build dikes or other permanent installations along about 1,800 km of coastline. A rise in the water level due to climate change would obviously affect the protection of the coasts and create a greater risk of flooding and erosion (Seventh National Communication, 2017). Denmark submitted its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) as an EU Member State in 2015.
