Sweden, once a leader in global climate performance, has dropped six spots over two years in the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI). The report, unveiled at the COP29 climate summit, highlights a decline attributed to recent changes in Sweden’s climate policies. Despite strong renewable energy performance, reduced initiatives such as eliminating electric vehicle subsidies and carbon taxes have impacted Sweden's ranking. Meanwhile, countries like Denmark lead the index with ambitious climate actions, including a methane tax on agriculture. This episode explores Sweden's challenges, contrasts with other nations, and examines the implications of policy shifts on its environmental standing
