Greenhouse gas emissions from the Swedish economy amounted to 12.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents in the first quarter of 2026, according to preliminary statistics from Statistics Sweden (SCB). This represents an increase of 0.6 per cent compared with the corresponding quarter of 2025. Over the same period, GDP at constant prices increased by 2.0 per cent, resulting in a 1.4 per cent decrease in emissions intensity. The increase was driven by the electricity, gas and heat supply; water supply, sewerage and waste management sector, where emissions rose by 10 per cent.
