Summary

The climate issue is a top priority of the Governments environmental work. If emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are not curbed there will be serious repercussions. Work is being stepped up in both the UN and the EU to reduce emissions and achieve the climate goals that have been set. In Sweden, the Government is investing almost a further SEK five billion in reducing climate impact and adaptation to climate change between 2009 and 2011. The money will be used for climate assistance and investments that reduce emissions in other countries.
