Using statistics, we can see the development over time in different areas and different sectors, which indicate whether Sweden is on course to reach its goals or if additional measures are needed in terms of revised control means. 5 ENERGILÄGET 2018 Total supplied energy 1970–2016, TWh 700 Primary heat Hydropower Wind power 600 500 400 Nuclear fuel Other fuels 300 Crude oil and petroleum products Natural- and city gas 200 Coal and coke 100 Biofuels 0 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 Sources: Swedish Energy Agency and SCB (Statistics Sweden).

Over the last 30 years we have seen a steadily increasing supply of biofuels. During the same time span the supply of crude oil and petroleum products has decreased considerably. The main reason is heating of residential buildings and facilities is rarely done using oil anymore. 6 --- Electricity generation 2016, TWh Other thermal power Industrial combined heat and power Combined heat and power (CHP) 0,02 6 Wind power 9 16 62 Hydropower Nuclear power 61 Sources: Swedish Energy Agency and SCB (Statistics Sweden).

Energy use in Sweden has decreased during the 2000s with an exception for 2010 which was an unusually cold year. The biggest decline in energy use is due to smaller losses in nuclear power plants which is a consequence of decommissioned nuclear reactors. 9 Energy use in An increasing domestic transport amount of biofuel amounted to 87 TWh in 2016. is used in the In 2016 road transport accounted for 94 per cent of transport sector energy use in the transport sector in Sweden.

  • Developing Sustainable Cities in Sweden
    DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE CITIES IN SWEDEN ABOUT THE BOOKLET This booklet has been developed within the Sida-funded ITP-programme: »Towards Sustainable Development and Local Democracy through the SymbioCity Approach« through the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR ), SKL International and the Swedish International Centre for Democracy (ICLD ). The purpose of the booklet is to introduce the reader to Sweden and Swedish experiences in the field of sustainable urban development, with special emphasis on regional and local government levels. Starting with a brief historical exposition of the development of the Swedish welfare state and introducing democracy and national government in Sweden of today, the main focus of the booklet is on sustainable planning from a local governance perspective. The booklet also presents practical examples and case studies from different municipalities in Sweden. These examples are often unique, and show the broad spectrum of approaches and innovative solutions being applied across the country.

In recent years, Swedish energy and environmental policy has been in- creasingly concentrated on establishing or improving the long-term condi- tions for efficient energy markets. Restructuring of the Swedish electricity market, greater internationalisation and the effects of the energy system on the wider environment and on climate are important factors that influence the direction of energy policy and so also development of the energy markets. The line that was started by the 2002 Energy Policy Agreement, under the name of Working Together for a Reliable, Efficient and Environmentally Aware Energy Supply (Bill no. 2001/02:143), continues. The shift in taxation policy to encourage the move towards a sustainable energy system and re- duced environmental impact continues, as exemplified by the introduction of the green electricity certificate system on 1st May 2003. In 2002, the Government appointed a special negotiator to reach agree- ment with the nuclear power industry on the long-term phase-out of nuclear power production. One of the starting points for these negotiations is the ’German model’, under which each reactor is assigned a particular overall production quantity of energy, instead of a specific closure date.

The diagram illustrates energy system flows for 2018. The diagram includes the total quantity of fossil fuels supplied to the Swedish energy system, 394 TWh. Of these, 216 TWh are exported and 40 TWh go to bunkers in international maritime transport, leaving 137 TWh of fossil fuels for final use in Sweden.

Stolle Singleton, Jayaraj Sundaresan and Terry Townshend www.lse.ac.uk/GranthamInstitute/legislation/ 2 Climate Change Legislation – Sweden Sweden Legislative Process The Kingdom of Sweden is a constitutional monarchy with the Monarch serving as the head of State. In practice, however, it is a parliamentary democracy in which the government is constitutionally formed and led by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is appointed by the 349-member Parliament, which is, in turn, elected by popular vote. All members of the Parliament are elected to serve four-year terms and the most recent election was in September 2014. Sweden has had a unicameral parliament since 1971. Both the Government and private members of the Parliament have the authority to introduce legislation, which is first tabled by the Speaker of the Parliament and assigned to one of 15 Parliamentary Committees for consideration. The specific committee then studies and reports back to the Parliament regarding the legislation in question via a committee report. Following the committee report, the legislation may be subject to a plenary meeting, which involves member debate or debate is forgone in the event of unanimous approval. In order to be approved, legislation must be assented to by a majority of the members of the Parliament. Once approved, legislation is sent to the Government for implementation. Governmental ministries not only implement policies, but also serve as expert bodies throughout the legislative process.

  • Civic Orientation in English “About Sweden” Is a Civic Orientation Handbook for Newly Arrived
    About Sweden Civic orientation in English “About Sweden” is a civic orientation handbook for newly arrived. The purpose of the book is to provide fundamental information about Sweden to people who have recently arrived in the country, as well as to provide support to municipalities in their civic orientation efforts. An ordinance governing work relating to civic orientation for newly arrived. (2010:1138) has been in force since 1 December 2010. This ordinance states that that goal of civic orientation is for participants to learn about: • human rights and fundamental democratic values, • the other rights and responsibilities of the individual, • how Swedish society is organised, and • practical aspects regarding everyday life. The ordinance also stipulates what civic orientation is to consist of. The ordinance has been used as a basis for the production of this book. “About Sweden” has been translated into eleven languages. All of these translations are available from the county administrative boards’ information portal for newly arrived, www.informationsverige.se The first edition of "About Sweden" was produced by the City of Gothenburg in 2010. The Västra Götaland County Administrative Board and the City of Gothenburg carry out regular revisions of the book together. This year’s edition, which is the seventh since 2010, has been revised by Pia Severinsson from the Västra Götaland County Administrative Board and Jakob Sandahl from the City of Gothenburg.
