Sweden exemplifies how dedicated climate action can go hand in hand with economic growth. Since the 1970s, Sweden has harnessed its natural resources—forests and water—to build a robust clean energy infrastructure.
Early investments in hydropower, wind, and nuclear power have led to near-zero emissions from electricity production, with 70% of the country’s electricity now from renewables.The country has also innovated in heating, shifting from fossil fuels to biofuels and waste, drastically cutting emissions.
Sweden's ambitious climate policies, including one of the highest carbon taxes globally, have driven significant reductions in greenhouse gases while fostering economic expansion.
Despite recent challenges, particularly in transport, Sweden remains resolute in its climate commitments, targeting net-zero emissions by 2045. Its experience underscores that strong environmental stewardship and economic progress are not mutually exclusive.
