- Climate policies presented by Sweden’s new centre-right coalition will likely contribute to a drastic increase in greenhouse gas emissions during its mandate, equivalent to half of the country’s annual emissions, a new report published on Tuesday has found.
- The big boost in emissions is mainly due to the lowering of the fuel reduction obligation.
- Sweden’s new Liberal Climate and Environment Minister, Romina Pourmokhtari, stressed that the government had not lowered any ambitions about the Riksdag’s proposal to reduce emissions from transport.
