It is common knowledge that our planet is getting warmer and that it risks having serious consequences globally. But how does the changing climate affect the Swedish population, our cities and towns?
SKL has, based on data from SMHI and three selected municipalities, commissioned this report which shows what concrete effects climate change can have at the local level. SMHI reports climate scenarios depending on whether carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase as they do today or if they decrease sharply.
The hope with the report is that it will be a useful basis in the work of stopping carbon dioxide emissions and making Sweden equipped for the effects that climate change is having here and now.
