The Swedish Energy Agency and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) has signed a cooperation agreement to launch a 3-year partnership with the aim to create international climate cooperation between Sweden and some of GGGI’s partner countries. This type of cooperation can enable the increased climate ambitions that are needed to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement.

The Swedish Energy Agency is looking for implementable mitigation activities to pursue under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Therefore, a call for proposals is launched today and open until February 14th, 2020.

Since 2011, the Lighting Research Center (LRC) from Troy, New York, has visited the Swedish Energy Agency for a week of lighting seminars on an advanced level. The week has become very popular among the participants, and this year the week will be held between 3-7 December in Stockholm.

In May 2018, Sweden, the EU and the Nordic countries will together host major energy ministerial meetings. In connection with these meetings, the Öresund region will also host Nordic Clean Energy Week. Politicians, researchers and business representatives will come together to discuss future energy solutions.

Since 2015, the Swedish Energy Agency has been conducting an initiative aimed at reducing the use of energy, increasing the share of renewable energy and reducing the climate impact at small and medium-sized enterprises. The goal that the Agency is working towards is for energy usage at small and medium-sized enterprises to decrease by 10 per cent of added value by 2023.
