Sweden cuts tax on flying despite admitting it would increase emissions
Briefly

Erika Bjureby from Greenpeace Sweden expressed her frustration, stating, "It feels like the government is trying to dismantle as many climate policies as possible and does everything in its power to stop climate action. The government even states that a scrapped flight tax will increase flying, which undoubtedly will lead to increased emissions." This highlights the tension between policy decisions and their environmental impact.
Maja Rosen from the campaign group 'Vi haller oss pa jorden' pointed out that the decision reflects a disconnect in climate strategy, saying, "The move was a clear example of the huge gap between knowledge and action in the climate issue." Her statement underscores the urgency for effective climate policies.
