Purpose
The Environmental Objectives Portal provides information on Sweden's environmental quality objectives and progress towards them. It gives an overview of the objectives and the bodies responsible for various aspects of implementing them.
The portal also presents a range of indicators. As further indicators are included in the monitoring system, it will be possible to chart progress on the environmental quality objectives and interim targets at national, regional and local level.
The ways in which the results of monitoring of the environmental objectives are presented and communicated represent an important Swedish contribution to implementing the UNECE Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-Making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (the Aarhus Convention).
Publisher
The portal is managed and published by the Environmental Objectives Secretariat.
