Cooperation with other countries
Through the Swedish Energy Agency, Sweden has signed bilateral agreements with several countries for cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
For the Swedish Energy Agency to provide funding for emission reduction projects in another country, a bilateral framework agreement must first be established between Sweden and that country. Once this agreement is in place, the agency can sign contracts with project developers. In many cases, a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is signed before the formal framework agreement. Below is a list of our current partner countries.
