Expert Panel Says Sweden Won’t Reach Climate Targets

The Swedish Climate Policy Council, an independent expert body tasked with grading the government's climate action plan, says Sweden will not reach its climate target.

The Swedish government's climate plan sets 2030 and 2045 emission reduction targets. Still, the Swedish Climate Policy Council says Sweden is doing more to counteract reductions in greenhouse gas emissions than to support them, reports Radio Sweden.

The council says emissions will rise in the short term rather than fall.
