DMI to present Climate Status 2026 report in Copenhagen

The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) will present its ‘Klimastatus 2026’ report at the Danish Climate Science Symposium in Copenhagen on October 27–28. The report, compiled by the National Center for Climate Research (NCKF), provides research-based insights into global, Arctic, and Danish climate developments.

Key findings indicate that the last 11 years have been the warmest ever recorded, with the global average temperature in 2025 sitting 1.43 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The Arctic is warming approximately three times faster than the global average. Under current climate policies, the world is projected toward a warming of roughly 2.8 degrees by the end of the century.

For Denmark, the report highlights localized impacts including rising sea levels, increased risks of storm surges, more intense cloudbursts, and warmer urban nights. The findings also address the status of North Atlantic ocean currents (AMOC) and the acceleration of global warming alongside record-high ocean temperatures.
