Denmark will end all offshore oil and gas activities by 2050 and has canceled its latest licensing round for drilling.

Current production is estimated at just over 100,000 barrels per day, which is minimal compared to global leaders like the UK and US. Environmental activists view this as a landmark decision in combating climate change, aligning with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
