Climate & environment
Topic overview

Where do the parties stand on climate and the environment?

Nuclear power draws the sharpest line in climate and energy policy: Liberalerna, Kristdemokraterna, Moderaterna and Sverigedemokraterna want to build new reactors, while Vänsterpartiet, Socialdemokraterna, Miljöpartiet and Centerpartiet point to renewables in their programmes instead. On policy instruments the spread is wide — a higher fuel tax is backed only by Miljöpartiet among the Riksdag parties, while expanded electric-car subsidies are backed by five of the eight Riksdag parties. Moving the net-zero target to 2040 is backed by Vänsterpartiet, Miljöpartiet and Centerpartiet and rejected by Liberalerna, Moderaterna and Sverigedemokraterna.

About Polara

Polara is a personal side project by Jonas Svensson — an attempt to see whether you can build a Swedish voting compass without party colour, agenda, or political funding.

The site draws on what the parties say themselves: election manifestos, party programmes, and websites. Every position links back to its source, and uncertainty is shown rather than hidden.

Open method. No accounts. No tracking. Here to help you think, not to push.
