Sweden successfully decoupled major environmental pressures from economic growth over the past decade. The country ranks well on many environmental indicators. However, a number of environmental targets are not expected to be met by 2030. Despite significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, recent policy shifts have created uncertainty.
This is the fourth Environmental Performance Review of Sweden. It provides an evidence-based assessment of the country's progress towards its environmental goals in the last decade. The 28 recommendations aim to help Sweden improve its environmental performance, giving special focus to climate change mitigation and negative emissions promotion.
