Environmental Performance Reviews: Sweden (2004)
A new OECD report praises the innovative and effective environmental policies of Sweden. For instance, Sweden makes good use of economic incentives to protect the environment, including environmental taxes, and is on track to meet its Kyoto Protocol commitment to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The OECD notes, however, that Sweden needs to further progress towards its environmental objectives and to better integrate environmental concerns into the industry, energy, transport, forestry, and agriculture sectors.
This publication is part of the OECD regular series of Environmental Performance Reviews of OECD member countries and extensively uses environmental indicators. The report reviews Sweden’s progress in the context of its domestic policy objectives and international commitments, including the OECD Environmental Strategy for the First Decade of the 21st Century.
