“Environmental policy should not turn towards the countryside”
“Isabella Lövin: Wrong to portray the green transition as glesbygdsfientlig”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“the DEBATE. Now warns SMHI for risk of grass fires in all of southern Sweden. In February! The aftermath of last summer’s drought and fires are still there and are just a taste of what a warmer klimatförändrad world. “
“left it is obvious that a policy that is phasing out the fossil fuel and ensure a good life for all is necessary. And not only that, but it is possible. It is a policy based on confidence and on people’s ability to meet and solve the crisis together.”
“We have about ten years to go from being dependent on oil, coal and gas to find solutions that emanate from the planet’s conditions. To do this we need policies that will ensure that all parts of the society can be involved in the change. “
“Fossil fuels must be phased out, but of course not at the expense of people’s opportunity to live good lives in the whole country. “
“a Lot of commentators are trying right now to paint a green conversion as something that would affect the countryside. We see the contrary, that the tax reform the government will do during its term of office together with the Liberals and the Centre party has all the possibilities to make the policy more equitable. “
“the green Party will push for the reduction of disparities, and a series of targeted investments especially for rural areas. We want to:”
“► Investigate a system with the green dividend”
“In Canada tested right now is a system where the revenues from certain taxes gives green bonuses directly to the citizens again. We want to investigate the possibilities to introduce a similar system in Sweden.”
“► to Reduce the employers ‘social security contributions in remote locations”
“In the glesbygdskommuner who have the greatest challenges, we want to reduce employers’ contributions by up to half so that it becomes more economical to drive business and create jobs locally.”
“► Raise the lump-sum allowance in remote locations”
“For the same glesbygdskommuner we want to raise the basic allowance, so that residents get more money in your wallet. “
“► to Give money back on the water and the wind ”
“We want to return the money to the municipalities and regions that produce wind power and hydropower, by letting municipalities retain the revenue from the property tax. “
“► Make it easier to produce your own electricity”
“We want local residents shall be given the opportunity to buy shares in wind power being built and those who want to put up solar panels on their house roof tops to get to a continued strong investment support. We also want to facilitate the local production of biogas.”
“► Introduce glesbygdsbonus”
“We want to make it even more advantageous to choose a car on the market with the least carbon footprint by a height bilbonus for those who live in remote locations”
“► Do if reseavdraget”
“We want to see those who live far from their jobs should get more deductions on the taxes for their travel expenses than if they live close. It will benefit the bilpendlare who live in the countryside”
“► to Build out the charging infrastructure and biogas”
“to be able to choose an electricity or biogasbil we want to continue to build out the charging stations and refuelling stations for biogas in the whole country. “
“To reduce the question of inequality in society and the allocation between city and country to only be about the price of petrol is a dangerous smokescreen. The risk to hide the real issue of our responsibility to all future generations if we do not act now. “
“With our policies will all be able to be with, and have a common response to the children when they wonder what we did when the alarm bells for the climate rang.”
“We can reply that we asked about. And that it was better for both the planet and the people. “
