This document summarizes key aspects of recent Swedish environmental policy and perspectives on policy approaches. It discusses: 1) Sweden's climate policy framework which includes legislation for climate neutrality by 2045 and sector-specific emission reduction targets. 2) Lessons learned from negotiating the climate law including the importance of trust, compromise, and building a shared knowledge base. 3) Expanding indicators beyond just GDP to also track environmental and social well-being. 4) The challenge of transitioning to a "green economy" paradigm that focuses on long-term sustainability rather than short-term economic growth and profit.
