Sweden’s Carbon Removal Strategy: The pathway to a climate- positive future – strategy and action plan for achieving negative greenhouse gas emissions after 2045

Sweden’s climate policy framework from 2017 states that by 2045, Sweden is to have zero net emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and should thereafter achieve negative emissions. However, attaining this goal will demand supplementary measures alongside extensive emission mitigation, as net negative emissions cannot solely be attained by reducing emissions. Therefore, this strategy sets out principles and targets for Swedish policy in the area of negative emissions measures and an action plan for achieving them.
