Panorama: A pathway to Sweden's climate goals

Sweden is committed to having net-zero emissions by 2045. This target requires a transformation of society. With the visualization tool Panorama, you can get an overview of what’s being done, what still needs to be done, and the progress underway in various sectors. Panorama presents a variety of possible transitions that together could help us achieve the target. Click through the images to explore the different sectors’ emissions and potential transitions. Please note that only parts of the original Swedish content in Panorama is available in English.

Panorama visualises both total emission trends and by sector and subsector. The tool also lists relevant policy instruments, proposals and commitments that can contribute to decreased emissions in different sectors. Each instrument is presented along with a brief description, when it was introduced, who is responsible and with links to relevant documentation.

For each subsector, a number of known and possible transitions are presented with descriptions and assessments of how they can help reduce emissions by 2045. Together, the transitions show one of several possible paths to net zero. From 2010 until 2020, historical emissions are reported. From 2021 and onwards, a possible emission trend is shown based on the individual transitions.

Each individual transition contains a brief description and an estimation of its contribution to emission reductions by 2045. For a transition to be included in Panorama, it must be known, quantifiable and have a clear potential effect on emissions in one or more sectors. An indicator shows the actual trend in relation to the potential. You can also see which sources and possible assumptions underpin the indicator.
