Policy measures adopted and their impact on emissions are described. The assessments presented in the report show that Sweden has succeeded in breaking the link between economic growth and greenhouse gas emissions. The policy instruments introduced have had a significant effect, and emissions have fallen by around 16% in absolute numbers between 1990 and 2011. Moreover, preliminary statistics for 2012 show a decrease of almost 20% since 1990. At the same time, Sweden has seen relatively high economic growth with an increase in GDP of almost 60% since 1990.
