| Abstract: |
This is Sweden’s fourth national communication which describes the national activities to comply with the commitments under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Sweden ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 2002, and as the Kyoto Protocol came in to force at the start of 2005, an account is also given in this report of national activities to fufil the commitment under the Kyoto Protocol. The report summarises the trend in the Swedish greenhouse gas emissions since 1990, national circumstances affecting these emission and the political decisions Sweden has taken to reduce its impact on the global climate. These decisions contribute to achieving the ultimate objective of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change- that the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere be stabilized at a level that presents human impact on the climate system becoming dangerous. |
