Sweden's parliamentary parties reached agreement on climate policy. They will align national climate goals with European Union regulations. The Environmental Objectives Committee confirmed the political consensus. Committee chair Christofer Fjellner announced the breakthrough. He said Sweden achieved parliamentary unity on reviewing 2030 climate targets. The committee's task included reviewing Swedish climate policy stages. They connected these stages to EU regulatory frameworks. Fjellner stated this makes climate policy more understandable. It also creates more effective policy when Sweden and Europe measure the same targets. He declined to share specific agreement details. But reports indicate eight parties agreed to reduce emissions. They target 60% cuts in transport, agriculture and building heating by 2030. This uses 2005 as the baseline year matching EU standards. The alignment simplifies Sweden's climate reporting process. It also creates clearer benchmarks for measuring progress. Political consensus on climate policy remains rare in many countries. Sweden's agreement shows cross-party cooperation on environmental issues.
