the Swedish transport agency and Swedish transport administration’s report on the emissions in 2018 shows that emissions are increasing instead of decreasing. This is completely at odds with the promise the government has delivered: Reduce emissions by 70 percent by 2030.
But with today’s instruments, would we be able to reduce emissions somewhere between 31 and 37 per cent, according to the report.
”the New instruments will be needed to cover the gap between the projected trend and the target”, write the two authorities as a comment to the calculations have.
think it is good that the report has been developed.
” And it shows that it is important that we implement all the measures that we are planning. For example, we suggest the largest investments ever on our railway system. We do a conversion of the godsvägarna from road to sea transport, ” says Eneroth and also mention the already implemented reforms so that the Bonus malus and reduktionsplikten.
the Government is investing sek 700 billion at a reconstruction of the railways in Sweden. The initiative contains a range of different projects across the country.
125 billion spent on operation and maintenance of railways, 164 billion to the operation and maintenance of state roads and 333,5 billion for the development of the transport system. The plan is valid until 2029, a year before the end date then the climate target should be met. The minister believes, however, that the results will show themselves gradually.
– the Whole system with new railroad lines will take a long time to get ready. And there is no doubt that we will see a substantial increase in capacity in the rail system, with more travelling by train. It is important to clarify that järnvägssatsningarna going on right now, we are not sitting and waiting.
” I think we will be able to do when we coordinate how we work in the established freight council. Then we see how various policy instruments can get over the cargo from truck to maritime and rail, where I think we will see the effects in the coming years clearly. But with the large increase in freight transport, so it will continue to be the number of vehicles on our roads and the need to switch to other fuels.
” No, I’m impatient and want we’ll make more. I am very pleased with the large investments that we make, and is pleased that Sweden is a world leader, but the report shows that we need to do more. There will be a conversion that affects both your and my traveling habits. And in my profession, as a politician, I make it easier for you to make smarter klimatval, ” says Tomas Eneroth.
He believes that there is a growing commitment from the swedes, who want to make more klimatval in everyday life.
indicates that new car sales were extremely high during the last few years. And despite the fact that the share of electric cars is increasing, it is still the absolute most petrol and diesel cars as swedes are buying.
Tomas Eneroth still believe that the trend will reverse.
and with that we build out laddinfrastrukturen more and more to buy a new electric car. But a significant shift in the coming years are also reduktionsplikten, which says that you have to mix in biofuels in the fossil fuel, will make a big difference.
Emissions from road traffic rose in 2018 – the climate targets in 2030, all the more distant
the Swedish transport administration: this looks not at all good
