EU and international cooperation
Environmental work in Sweden is to a large extent based on decisions taken within the EU and through active cooperation in international organisations. Experts from the Swedish EPA participate in more than 150 working groups within the EU and some 90 groups in international organisations and multilateral environmental agreements. In addition, we have development cooperation with a number of countries on environmental capacity building.
