About The New Climate Economy (NCE) is the flagship project of the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, a major new international initiative to analyse and communicate the economic risks and opportunities that arise from climate change. The Commission comprises former heads of government, finance ministers and leaders in the fields of economics, business and finance and is chaired by former Mexican President Felipe Calderón. The New Climate Economy project will report in September 2014 in advance of the United Nations Secretary General's Climate Summit. It will make recommendations to government, business and financial leaders on how stronger economic growth can be combined with tackling climate risk. The project is being conducted by a partnership of leading research institutions based in the China, Ethiopia, India, South Korea, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. Its work will be overseen by an advisory panel of world-leading economists chaired by Lord Nicholas Stern and including the Nobel Laureates Daniel Kahneman and Michael Spence. It was commissioned by a group of seven countries - Colombia, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Korea, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. New Climate Economy research in Sweden The Stockholm Environment Institute is one of the core eight research institutes of the New Climate Economy project. Stockholm Environment Institute leads the work on energy systems and contributes to the analyses of air pollution and sustainable cities. The aim of the research conducted for the project is to help decision makers understand how they can meet their core economic and social objectives, while also taking action on climate change. Felipe Calderón Felipe Calderón was President of Mexico from 2006 to 2012. Among other achievement his government pushed through structural reforms to modernize the Mexican economy in key areas, such as public pensions, tax, the energy sector and universal healthcare. During his period in office Mexico positioned itself as a global leader in fighting climate change: President Calderón presided over the successful UN climate conference in Cancun in 2010 and saw the passing of a comprehensive Climate Change Act in 2012. Felipe Calderón is current Honorary Chairman of the Green Growth Action Alliance, as well as President of the Sustainable Human Development Foundation and a Member of the Board of Directors of the World Resources Institute. Lord Nicholas Stern Lord Nicholas Stern is IG Patel Professor of Economics and Government, Chair of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment and Chair of the Asia Research Centre at the London School of Economics (LSE). A former Chief Economist of both the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, his research and publications have focused on the economics of climate change, economic development and growth, economic theory, tax reform, public policy and the role of the state and economies in transition. He is best known for leading the Stern Review on the economics of climate change which reported in 2006. He is President of the British Academy and a member of the House of Lords. Jeremy Oppenheim Jeremy Oppenheim is Programme Director for the New Climate Economy project. He has taken a sabbatical from his role as a Director of McKinsey & Company to lead this project. For the last five years, Jeremy Oppenheim has led McKinsey's Sustainability and Resource Productivity Practice. In this role he has worked with a wide range of private, public, and social sector clients in many different countries.

The direction of debt policy remains unchanged. The debt shares and interest rate refixing periods for central government debt remain unchanged. "Low market interest rates and Sweden's strong central government finances have meant that borrowing costs have fallen to record low levels in recent years," says Minister for Financial Markets Peter Norman. Related For 2012 the interest costs on central government debt were SEK 18 billion. This can be compared with the Report: Guidelines for central interest costs on central government debt in the 1990s, which amounted to more than SEK 100 billion per government debt management year. 2014 The basis for the Government's decision on the guidelines is that the central government debt is to be managed in such a way as to minimise the long-term cost of this debt while taking account of the risk in its management. The Government chooses to wait to change the model for steering the currency debt. The Debt Office has proposed that the currency debt may be up to 15 per cent of the total central government debt, instead of having a benchmark of 15 per cent as at present. Before considering any change, the Government wants to wait for the findings of the Review of Central Government Debt Policy, as well as a decision on the report on the Riksbank's financial independence and balance sheet. From a cost perspective it is not a disadvantage to retain the present currency share for the time being either. To reduce the risk of losses in position-taking operations the mandate for positions in foreign currencies is reduced from SEK 450 million to SEK 300 million, measured as daily Value-at-Risk with a 95 per cent probability. Central government debt less than half of the EU average The unconsolidated central government debt was SEK 1 201 billion (33 per cent of GDP) on 31 October 2013. Comparisons of the public indebtedness of EU countries use general government consolidated gross debt (the Maastricht debt). For Sweden the Maastricht debt was 38 per cent of GDP at the end of 2012. At the same point in time the corresponding debt ratio for the EU as a whole was 87 per cent and for the Euro zone it was 93 per cent. The overall objective of debt policy is to minimise the long-term cost of the central government debt while taking account of the risk in its management. The debt is to be managed within the framework of monetary policy requirements. The Government primarily steers the expected cost and risk of the central government debt by adopting guidelines for the composition and maturity of the debt. The Government adopts these guidelines following a proposal from the National Debt Office. The National Debt Office is responsible for the operational management of the central government debt within these guidelines. Central government borrowing and debt management are evaluated every second year in a government communication to the Riksdag (Swedish Parliament). The next evaluation will be put before the Riksdag in April 2014. Guidelines for the composition of the central government debt Foreign currency debt: 15 per cent Index-linked debt: 25 per cent Nominal krona debt: 60 per cent (residual). Guidelines for maturities for the central government debt Foreign currency debt: Interest rate refixing period of 0.125 years Index-linked debt: interest rate refixing period of 7-10 years Nominal krona debt: - instruments with a maturity of up to 12 years: interest rate refixing period of 2.7-3.2 years - instruments with a maturity of more than 12 years: benchmark value SEK 70 billion.

  • Politics & Science in Sweden
    Politics & Science in Sweden VA Report 2006:5 Facts about the study Politicians can greatly influence the public’s attitude to science. It matters greatly how politicians view knowledge, science and science’s role in society. An active dialogue between politicians and researchers is essential and the success or otherwise of the interaction between the two groups can have a far-reaching impact. For these reasons, the For me, it isn’t a Swedish organisation Vetenskap & Allmänhet (Public and Science) hockey match that we are playing, but music, has carried out a three-part study into the relationship between poli- and that should be ticians and researchers: played together.

  • Fredrik Reinfeldt
    2014 Press release 03 June 2014 Prime Minister's Office REMINDER: German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to Harpsund On Monday and Tuesday 9-10 June, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt will host a high-level meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at Harpsund. The European Union needs to improve job creation and growth now that the EU is gradually recovering from the economic crisis. At the same time, the EU is facing institutional changes with a new European Parliament and a new European Commission taking office in the autumn. Sweden, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands are all reform and growth-oriented countries. As far as Sweden is concerned, it will be important to emphasise structural reforms to boost EU competitiveness, strengthen the Single Market, increase trade relations and promote free movement. These issues will be at the centre of the discussions at Harpsund. Germany, the UK and the Netherlands, like Sweden, are on the World Economic Forum's list of the world's ten most competitive countries. It is natural, therefore, for these countries to come together to compare experiences and discuss EU reform. Programme points: Monday 9 June 18.30 Chancellor Merkel, PM Cameron and PM Rutte arrive at Harpsund; outdoor photo opportunity/door step. Tuesday 10 June 10.30 Joint concluding press conference. Possible further photo opportunities will be announced later. Accreditation is required through the MFA International Press Centre. Applications close on 4 June at 18.00.

  • Press Invitation
    2014 Press release 14 May 2014 Ministry for Foreign Affairs Press invitation: Stockholm Internet Forum This year's Stockholm Internet Forum (SIF14) will take place at the Brewery Conference Centre (Münchenbryggeriet) on 27-28 May. Some 450 participants from 90 countries will meet to discuss the theme 'The internet: privacy, transparency, surveillance and control'. Time and place 27-28 May Brewery Conference Centre (Münchenbryggeriet) Freedom and security on the internet is one of the major global issues of the future and one of the highest priorities of Swedish foreign policy. SIF is a unique forum for in-depth discussions on how freedom and openness on the internet promote human rights and development in the world. Decision-makers, civil society, businesses, academia and the technical community will be represented. Half of the participants will be from low-and middle-income countries - often from places where internet freedom is restricted and efforts to promote it can be downright dangerous. The many participants will include: Jillian York from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Shahzad Ahmad from the Pakistani internet freedom organisation Bytes4All, Anja Kovacs from the Internet Democracy Project in New Delhi, and OSCE media representative Dunja Mijatovic. See the link below for the complete list of participants. SIF is arranged by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Sida and .SE. All panel sessions will be broadcast live on stockholminternetforum.se. Those not attending in person can put questions to the panels via Twitter using the hashtag #SIF14.

  • The Precarious Situation for Wolf Conservation Draws Attention to a Broad Issue of Concern and Establishes the Basis for This Br
    To: Prime Minister of Norway Jens Stoltenberg Prime Minister of Sweden Fredrik Reinfeldt Prime Minister of Finland Jyrki Katainen Copy: Minister of the Environment Bård Vegar Solhjell, Norway Minister for the Environment Lena Ek, Sweden Minister of the Environment Ville Niinistö, Finland Minister of Agriculture and Food Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, Norway Minister for Rural Affairs Eskil Erlandsson, Sweden Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Jari Koskinen, Finland European Commissioner for the Environment Janez Potočnik. Bern Convention Secretariat 20 November 2012 Dear Prime Ministers Jens Stoltenberg, Fredrik Reinfeldt and Jyrki Katainen 25 environmental NGOs in Norway, Sweden and Finland on behalf of 800.000 members are calling for a more ambitious, responsible and long-term management plan for our shared large carnivore populations, to safeguard their existence in the Fennoscandian ecosystems. We encourage the governments of Norway, Sweden and Finland to establish a joint management platform for large carnivores, beginning with the wolf. The Scandinavian wolf population is suffering from isolation, reduced genetic variation and inbreeding. Sweden has approximately 300 wolves, and the wolf is classified as Endangered on the national Red List. Finland’s wolf population has now been reduced to less than 200 individuals, and is classified as Endangered in the Red List. In Norway the wolf population size is down to 25 individuals in total. Wolves in Norway are listed as Critically Endangered in the Red List. The politically defined population target allows only three annual litters, which is the main reason for the current Red List classification. Furthermore, only around one per cent of Norway’s territory is designated for occupation by wolves.

  • Sweden's Follow-Up of the Platform for Action from the UN's Fourth World
    U2014/240/JÄM 27 August 2014 Ministry of Education and Research Sweden Sweden Sweden’s follow-up of the Platform for Action from the UN’s Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing (1995) Covering the period between 2009–2014 1 Section One: Overview and analysis of achievements and challenges since 1995 Achievements since 1995 The goals of gender equality policy have been stable over time. Despite intervening general elections and changes of government, the goals adopted by the Riksdag in 1994 remained in force until 2006. In 2006, the Riksdag adopted a new overarching goal for gender equality policy: Women and men are to have the same power to shape society and their own lives (Govt. Bill 2005/06:155). That goal remains to this day. Four sub goals indicate the direction of the Government’s efforts in gender equality policy: Equal distribution of power and influence; Economic gender equality; Equal distribution of unpaid care and household work; An end to men’s violence against women. In some areas, society has made significant strides forward since 1995. In others, the pace of development has been considerably slower, with major challenges still remaining. The following presents some of the major features of developments since the 1990s. Increased representation by women since the 1990s One area that has shown a distinct positive trend since the 1990s is the distribution of power and influence in elected political assemblies. The 1991 general elections saw the first decline in the proportion of women in the Riksdag since 1929 (from 38 per cent to 33 per cent).

  • Keit Pentus-Rosimannus Lena Ek Ville Niinistö Tom Heap
    Keit Pentus-Rosimannus Estonian Minister of the Environment No serious state can simply ignore the subject of climate change – its effect on our quality of life and the world's economy is just too overwhelming. To come up with a reasonable climate strategy, we need to take into account, on the one hand, the most up-to-date and precise scientific information and, on the other, economic and social aspects. I'm very glad that we have been able to bring to Tallinn experts who are absolute leaders in their field: with their help, we are going to tackle this complicated issue and direct the climate debate in Estonia in a more meaningful and science-based direction. Lena Ek Swedish Minister for the Environment Sweden currently chairs the Nordic Council of Ministers. As the chair of the Environment sector and as the Swedish Minister for the Environment I want to emphasize the good results of the Nordic cooperation on environment has led to through the years. In some cases our cooperation has been an international game changer, for example in developing air pollution and chemicals legislation. I highly value the work within the Nordic Council of Ministers on climate issues. Working regionally, extending the Nordic cooperation to Estonia and the Baltics is central. Steps need to be taken locally, and with the regional perspective we can work together for both local and global climate action. Ville Niinistö Finnish Minister of the Environment Climate change does not follow national borders. Therefore regional co-operation is vital for bringing about effective mitigation and adaptation measures.
