11. Strengthen efforts to eco-sequestrate the excess
carbon out of the atmosphere
120. “Since Sweden accounts for less than 0.2% of
total global emissions, the country could easily
have gone unnoticed in the climate debate.
Instead, Sweden has chosen to do more than
many other countries on issues regarding
energy and the climate.”
121. “Sweden’s goals to reduce GHG emissions
compared with 1990 by 40% by 2020, and to
have a vehicle fleet completely rid of fossil
fuels by 2030, are stepping stones to the
overarching goal of a society with no net GHG
emissions by 2050.”
