We base our example on Sweden, where annual net LULUCF-sector removals currently compensate for approximately half of Sweden's CO 2 emissions, but are not explicitly ‘counted’ or considered in the climate policy framework, either in Sweden or the EU.

It receives high ratings in the categories GHG Emissions, Renewable Energy and Climate Policy. National experts criticise Sweden’s lack of an energy use target and only weak incentives for energy efficiency that have limited impact. 0000000856 00000 n
The Act states that the Government shall: 1. present a climate report in its Budget Bill each year; 2. draw up a climate policy action plan every fourth year to describe how the climate targets are to be achieved. We have an important task to contribute through our teaching and research, but we also need to reduce the impact of our own operations. 0000069087 00000 n

As the country is a strong advocator of ambitious climate action at EU level and one of the strongest financial contributors to the Green Climate Fund, Sweden’s international climate policy performance is still rated very high by national experts. The legislation will provide the long-term conditions for business and society to implement the transition needed to solve the challenge of climate change. On the other hand, both the EU and the UNFCCC/Kyoto LULUCF frameworks remain distant from an idealized model that could facilitate increased climate change mitigation and a more efficient and balanced use of forest-based resources. 0000017578 00000 n
Emissions in Sweden in the sectors that will be covered by the EU regulation on the division of responsibilities should, by 2030, be at least 63 per cent lower than emissions in 1990, and at least 75 per cent lower by 2040.

In the Energy Use category, Sweden performs low, reflecting the high level of energy use per capita and the lack of a well below2°C compatible 2030 target.

o. This chapter provides an introduction to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) system and the key institutions as well as to the processes leading up to, and from, the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol. As in the previous two years, Sweden is ranked fourth and remains the frontrunner within the group of high-performing countries. The Swedish Climate Policy Council was formed on 1 January 2018 as part of Sweden’s climate policy framework, which had been adopted the previous year by an overwhelming majority in the Riksdag (the Swedish Parliament).
Limiting the incorporation of forests in the climate policy framework has significant consequences for the cost and rapidity of emission reductions. 0000012464 00000 n
The new Climate Act will enter into force on 1 January 2018. Forests can provide improved mitigation potential through negative emissions. 0000001974 00000 n
We highlight current deficiencies under the Incentive Gap lens. The Government is required to present a climate report every year in its Budget Bill. EU inclusion of LULUCF (Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry) in the climate policy framework still lags international developments, remaining at odds even with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change's (UNFCCC) Kyoto framework. 3. make s… F… We have an important task to contribute through our teaching and research, but we also need to contribute by reducing the impact of our own operations. %PDF-1.5

Overall they commend the country’s strong climate policy framework, including the 2045 net-zero emission target (previously set for 2050), the world’s highest carbon tax and the 100% Renewable Energy target by 2040.
As part of a strategy for fulfilling emission reduction commitments within the EU burden-sharing agreement, Member states are not permitted to trade either in domestically nor foreign produced forest-based carbon credits. Every fourth year, the Government is required to draw up a climate policy action plan for how the climate goals are to be achieved. The climate policy framework consists of a Climate Act, new national climate targets and a climate policy council. However, they caution that even the comparably high ambition of Sweden is not enough to achieve the Paris Agreement goal. 0000014136 00000 n

In the context of ongoing discussions over the EU and UNFCCC's Post-Kyoto frameworks, we propose an all-encompassing LULUCF carbon accounting model incorporating all previously omitted carbon pools and activities, thus weighing LULUCF removals and emissions on a par with emissions from other sectors (industry, the energy sector, end-users).
