Sweden’s 16 environmental objectivespoint the way to a sustainable society.
The Swedish Riksdag has adopted environmental quality objectives in 16 areas. The objectives define the quality and state of Sweden’s environment and of its natural and cultural resources that are sustainable in the long term.
The 16 environmental quality objectives define the necessary characteristics (qualities) of our natural environment and our cultural heritage environment in order to ensure environmentally sustainable development.
To ensure a clear division of the responsibility for efforts to implement the sixteen national environmental quality objectives, the Government has appointed one specific national agency to be responsible for one specific objective.
Swedish consumers have impacts on the environment in other countries.
