Summary

The Swedish Government is working actively to promote
reductions of emissions and formation of shortlived
climate forcers. This work supplements ongoing efforts to reduce emissions of long-lived greenhouse gases under the UN Climate Convention and is important for air quality, health, climate impact and food security. Sweden has taken a global initiative together with several other countries to reduce emissions of black carbon, methane and ground-level ozone.
