The document summarizes the Center Party's ambitious climate policy positions in Sweden. It argues the EU has become a major driving force in climate issues led by the efforts of the Center Party. The Center Party believes in balancing environmental, economic, and social concerns. It argues for a policy of "carrots" like expanding wind power, high-speed trains, sustainable cities, and green foreign aid rather than "brakes and whips." Voters are urged to support the Center Party's green positions in upcoming September elections.

Our climate problems can only be solved internationally. But someone has to force
the pace. The USA and China are dragging their heels, but the EU has now step-
ped up to be the major driving force in climate issues. This has not happened by
itself. The Centre Party has been very instrumental, both here at home and in the
rest of Europe, in putting the climate at the top of the to-do list.
In the autumn you will choose whether this work will continue. But you will
also choose how. Should these issues be run by left-wing politics or by more green
votes for the Alliance? The Centre Party believes that politics has to be a balance
between three things: people, the environment and the market. People have the
willingness and the commitment; the market has the power and the money. The
environment needs both of them.
The left talks about the environment, but very little about people and the market.
Their policy is mainly brakes and whips. Our concept is based on carrots and
development optimism. Our concept has seen the number of environmental cars
increase sixfold since the last elections.

3. here are Some of the Car-
rotS We are offering for
green development:
bringing the Wind of Change
Sweden is a large and windy country. This means that Sweden is in a good position
to expand its wind power. The wind power industry is now growing around the
world. The Centre Party wants to continue to build wind power plants. We want it
to be profitable for power companies to invest in wind through ‘electricity certifica-
tes’. So we can use the market to produce more renewable energy.
high-Speed trainS – yeS pleaSe!
People have to travel to meet up, to work and to do business. Both in their cities and
between cities. Some people think that you can serve the environment by saying no
to communications. The Centre Party believes the opposite. We want to invest hea-
vily in public transport. And to make it so attractive that people want to travel even
more by train and bus. High-speed trains are one example. When trains are quick
enough, they are more convenient than planes. The Centre Party wants to invest in
high-speed trains. This will bring the whole of Europe closer together.
green CitieS
Cities are growing, both in Sweden and the rest of the world. And where there are a
lot of people, there are a lot of things that need to be done for the environment. The
Centre Party’s objective is for cities to be self-sufficient in energy. This could be a
reality if people recycled their own rubbish, built low-energy houses and introduced
small-scale energy production. By developing this kind of technology, Sweden can
export green solutions to all major cities in the world. This is yet another example of
how you can support people, jobs and the environment at the same time.
Climate aSSiStanCe to fight poverty
Our assistance has to be greener. In order to stop climate changes – and to avoid the
very poorest from suffering the most. The Centre Party wants to increase invest-
ments in green technology in developing countries. Greener assistance can help to
save the climate and fight poverty at the same time.
