Swedish Councils Slam Government's Climate Strategy

In a recent report, Sweden's Fiscal Policy Council has leveled criticism against the government's climate and labor market policies, describing them as inconsistent and counterproductive to set goals.

Lars Heikensten, the council's chair, highlighted a disjointed approach in climate strategy, where the government's actions contradict its objectives.

This critique echoes similar concerns raised by the Climate Policy Council, marking a growing discontent among advisory bodies regarding the effectiveness of the government's environmental initiatives.

According to Ekots' economic commentator Kristian Åström, this criticism mirrors the severe reprimands from the Climate Policy Council, indicating a significant challenge in aligning policy actions with climate targets..
