Land impacted by inundation due to sea level rise is projected to rise in Denmark under various Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP).
Under the SSP5-8.5 very high emission scenario, the mean projected area affected by sea level rise in Denmark could reach almost 383 square kilometers at midcentury, relative to the historic baseline. Under the same scenario is it projected that almost 1000 square kilometers of area will be affected at the end of the century, an increase of more than double.

Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP): SSP1-1.9: very low GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions cut to net zero around 2050. SSP1-2.6: low GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions cut to net zero around 2075. SSP2-4.5: intermediate GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions around current levels until 2050, then falling but not reaching net zero by 2100: SSP3-7.0: high GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions double by 2100. SSP5-8.5: very high GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions triple by 2075.
