“Climate policy council is an independent authority that has the task to examine how the government is living up to its climate targets.”
“They have in their new report studied the transport sector, which accounts for one third of Sweden’s total emissions, and notes that the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases in Sweden have lost momentum. “
“the Goal to reduce emissions from the transport sector by 70% by 2030 will be only half of today’s pace.”

“”Technically it is possible””
“the Council has put forward a number of proposals to the government, among other things, that the climate must always be taken into account in policy proposals.

“– Yes, we believe that it is. There are technical and economic opportunities in the day which did not previously exist. Should you make such a big change requires planning and long-term. We strongly recommend that you look over this issue as soon as possible.nnHur would it be done? “
“– It is up to the government to determine exactly how they would do, we only give recommendations for which direction you should go. The actual decisions the government must take. “
