Sweden looks set to miss its legislated climate targets, the latest sign of how combating global warming is slipping down the policy agenda.
The nation — the first globally to set a milestone target for net zero emissions — won’t reach that goal for 2045 with current measures, according to the center-right government’s 2024 budget submitted on Wednesday. It cited the tough economic climate along with a plunging krona, expecting to also fall short on other targets for protecting the environment.
Here is more from Bloomberg. And from the BBC:
Rishi Sunak is considering weakening some of the government’s key green commitments in a major policy shift.
It could include delaying a ban on the sales of new petrol and diesel cars and phasing out gas boilers, multiple sources have told the BBC.
I do hope the median voter ends up happy with these ones…
