Swedish Gov ongoing press briefing: Strong indication that the 🇸🇪 2030 national target will be scrapped. "Fit-for-55 shall direct the Swedish climate transition" The MUCH more ambitious national target shall "be synced with" Sweden's 🇪🇺 Fit-for-55 obligation... = Ambition ⬇️

@harry_b_smith Available, but w/ much lesser detail: doi.org/10.3389/fclim.…, doi.org/10.1007/s43937…, doi.org/10.3389/fclim.… And a public inquiry w/ an English summary (a strategy proposal that was never fully adopted by the government) regeringen.se/contentassets/…

@harry_b_smith I take it you don't read Swedish, but if you do, please email me and I'll share a report (under embargo, still unpublished) which goes into a lot of details about this, including quantification and comparison with Swedish EU obligations.

"Novel CDR techniques must be integrated into the EU's climate policies" - new comment in @CommsEarth, led by @MathiasFridahl. Our 3 recommendations: ▶️ETS: conditional integration ▶️LULUCF: more CDR methods ▶️ESR: start discussion on hard-to-abate nature.com/articles/s4324…

@harry_b_smith @wim_carton @FelixSchenuit Yes, BECCS too. BECCS + additional measures in LULUCF + verified international offsets.

@harry_b_smith @FelixSchenuit But! Sweden currently doesn’t have policy in place to meet the 2030 target.

@harry_b_smith @FelixSchenuit One reason for excluding the existing net sink was that it wasn’t the result of climate policy. The net sink did not represent a climate ambition.

@harry_b_smith @FelixSchenuit Yes, net zero soon, if we meet our EU obligations. Sweden shall remove about 47 MtCO2e (net) by 2030, LULUCF regulation. It will require both that the existing sink is maintained and that additional LULUCF measures are delivered.

@FelixSchenuit @harry_b_smith I would rather say that LULUCF is included but that the existing LULUCF sink cannot be used to achieve the net zero target. This means that the net zero target is, in practice, a net negative target. Sweden should reduce net emissions by about 150 % by 2045 (compared to 1990).

@harry_b_smith @MathiasFridahl is the best person to clarify this

The reality of #FitFor55 for Sweden 🇸🇪 = net-zero #GHG well before (!) 2030 🇸🇪 GHG emissions (2021): 47.8 MtCO2e 🇸🇪🇪🇺 net removal obligation (2030): –47.3 MtCO2 🇸🇪🇪🇺 Effort sharing obligation (2030): –21 MtCO2e Add 🇪🇺 emissions trading @SwedishPM: high time make 🇸🇪 #FitFor0 !
