80 År För Öppenhet Och Frihet
80 år för öppenhet och frihet 80 år för öppenhet och frihet Copyright © Moderata Ungdomsförbundet Redaktör: Erik Bengtzboe Formgivning: Hellsten Kommunikation AB Illustration: Emy Eriksson / Hellsten Kommunikation AB Tryck: Livonia Print, Lettland 2014 ISBN: 978-91-637-7112-5 Förord 7 Gunnar Hökmark: Fred har den frie och ingen annan 9 Beatrice Ask: Politik som verktyg, inte som mål 21 Ulf Kristersson: Blicka framåt! 31 Fredrik Reinfeldt: Vi har valt öppenheten och friheten 39 Gunnar Strömmer: När skickade du en blomsterkvast till SSU senast? 47 Tove Lifvendahl: Frihet, kärlek och kapitalism 55 Christofer Fjellner: Politik handlar om konflikter 63 Johan Forssell: Att bygga ett nytt land 73 Niklas Wykman: Friheten behöver alla sina vänner 83 Erik Bengtzboe: Ett moderat ungdomsförbund som vill mer 95 ör 80 år sedan bildades det som i dag har blivit Sve- riges största politiska ungdomsförbund. Ända sedan 1934 har vi stått upp för frihet, för öppenhet och för individen; mot tvång, protektionism och kollektiv- Fism. Genom åren har den kampen sett olika ut, men vår tilltro till människor har alltid varit okuvad. Vi tror på människor och på framtiden, och vi är övertygade om att om människor bara får chansen, ja då kan vi också skapa stordåd. Stordåd kräver dock att kropp, plånbok, själ och hjärna är fri. I din hand håller du en samling med texter från några av oss som fått den fantastiska möjligheten att leda denna spänstiga och alltid lika pigga 80-åring genom tiderna och vara förbundsordförande för Moderata Ungdomsförbun- det. Jag är otroligt glad att så många tidigare förbundsord- föranden hade möjlighet att delta och bidra med sina per- spektiv på Moderata Ungdomsförbundet och sin tid som förbundsordförande. -
Sweden and Ecological Governance
lundqvist jkt 1/20/04 11:52 AM Page 1 ISSUES IN ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS Sweden is seen as a forerunner in environmental and ecological policy. Sweden andecologicalgovernance Sweden and ecological governance is about policies and strategies for Sweden and ecologically rational governance, and uses the Swedish case study to ask whether or not it is possible to move from a traditional environmental ecological governance policy to a broad, integrated pursuit of sustainable development, as illustrated through the ‘Sustainable Sweden’ programme. Straddling the fence The study begins by looking at the spatial dimensions of ecological governance, and goes on to consider the integration and effectiveness of sustainable development policies. It analyses the tension between democracy and sustainable development, which has a broader relevance beyond the Swedish model, to other nation states as well as the European Union as a whole. In this book the author offers the latest word in advanced implementation of sustainable development by a front-runner in environmental and ecological policy. It will be useful for students of environmental politics and sustainable development researchers. Lennart J.

Public Procurement of Buses Kalmar County
Public procurement of buses in Kalmar County, Sweden Public procurement of buses Kalmar County This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Page 1 of 4 research and innovation programme. Public procurement of buses in Kalmar County, Sweden Background and description of the good practice Kalmar County consists of a lot of farm land and a lot of livestock. Also the municipality of Kalmar and the isle of Öland are very popular holiday resorts. The city of Kalmar was e.g. voted to the best Swedish summer city for the third time. But at the same time the Baltic Sea suffers from over- fertilization. Especially the surplus of phosphorous is a problem. For example, on the isle of Öland, located near the cost, there are 2,5 cows per inhabitant. If the farmers wish to by more animals they have to buy more land which is a serious obstacle for them. Kalmar County represents 2,4 % of all the inhabitants in Sweden but stands for 25 % of chicken production and 12 % of milk production in the country making the farming a very important industry. Our politicians have recognized that biogas/bio-methane can be one of the solutions because it not only reduces the metane leaks from the farms but it also delivers a renewable fuel to our vehicles and digestate that can be certified as an ecological fertilizer. The public procurement is generally made for 8 + 2 years. Since the latest procurement was made in 2007, it was time for a new procurement. It covers all the 12 municipalities in the County and is administrated by the Regional Public Transport Administration whereas the final decisions are made by the politicians in the County Council, head of the transport administration. -

Island Sustainable Energy Action Plan Island of Öland
ISLAND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ACTION PLAN ISLAND OF ÖLAND Fields of wild orchids. Photo: Municipality of Borgholm Date 2011-12-21 ISLAND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ACTION PLAN Island of Öland Executive summary Political decisions concerning energy and climate issues in the municipalities of Öland, Borgholm and Mörbylånga, has long been characterized by project approach. While this has worked well there has been no long-term strategy in the field. There was first in connection with the greenhouse effect's massive impact that showed the need of a common climate strategy. All municipalities of Öland joined the Pact of Islands in 2010, which is a commitment much like Covenant of Mayors but specialized on islands. This membership includes various projects with various commitments. The current project is called the Isle Pact, which aims to develop local energy action plans to meet or exceed the EU's sustainability 20/20/20 2020. The project is led by the Outer Hebrides in Scotland and is co-funded by the European Commission and is expected to eventually result in reduced global climate change. EU sustainability means that by 2020 the EU should: • Reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20 % compared to 1990 levels • Energy mix will consist of 20 % renewable energy • Total energy consumption will decrease by 20% by 2020 The membership of Pact of Islands shows that to Öland and its municipalities climate issues are of utmost importance and priority. One of the commitments of membership is to produce an Island Sustainable Energy Action Plan, which now has been done. This document is the first version and will be supplemented and revised until the autumn of 2012 when the Isle Pact project will be completed. -
