John Hassler's climate investigation has created shared opinions of svenska discussion and leader pages. Some see it as a possible positive change within climate change, at the same time as the discussion about Sweden's climate goals vis-à-vis the EU's guidelines intensifies - should Sweden have its own climate goals or ska The EU steers the way forward?
According to SvD's lead writer Peter Wennblad, John Hassler's climate investigation could mean a positive change in the Swedish climate transition - and a greater achievement than both the earlier red-green government and the current government.
- It is not a statement of strength that a single economics professor manages to achieve in three months what an entire government has not achieved in a year, he writes.
Hassler's investigation raises the question of whether Sweden needs its own national climate goals or whether it is better to adapt based on the EU's goals. ETC's lead writer Rebecka Bohlin argues that national goals are necessary.
- Of course, all countries need their own national goals - preferably significantly more ambitious than the EU's, she writes.
In a response to Per Kågeson's debate article i SvD Debate Mattias Goldmann at the 2030 secretariat raises the argument that Sweden should set its own ambitious climate goals instead of solely relying on the goals that the EU has set.
- It is not, as Per Kågeson writes on SvD Debatt 22/10, that the defenders of the climate goals "do not understand" the new situation that has arisen - but that we see the advantages of continuing to lead, he writes.
ETC's lead writer Göran Greider is critical of Hassler's proposal to abolish the Swedish goal of a sharp reduction in emissions in the transport sector by 2030 and replace them with an electrification goal.
- The only problem is that when the original goal is swept away, the incentive to simply reduce car traffic, both the number of cars and the traffic, also disappears, he writes.
Other debaters claim that there should be alternative solutions that could be more flexible than Hassler's model. Four experts in climate and business life, for example, present a proposal for a "company-internal climate transition" i DN Debate.
