Notes
Third national communication. Full text available on the UNFCCC website
Abstract
Since most of the work on this communication was completed in the summer of 2001, events occurring after that time are not fully described here. For example, the forecasts of future Swedish emissions of carbon dioxide take no account of the economic slowdown in summer 2001. Nor has it been possible for these forecasts to take account of the growing uncertainty and the international tensions following the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington in September.
However, the forecasts are already intrinsically uncertain because they deal with long or very long-term scenarios. The government does not consider that the relevance of the forecasts has been appreciably affected by near-term events of the kind described above. Moreover, the Third National Communication does not take into account a number of political decisions that were taken after the summer of 2001 and have a bearing on Swedish climate policy
