This regulation contains provisions on the basis for international climate reporting and annual climate accounts which the Government shall submit in the budget bill in accordance with the Climate Act (2017:720), and which are needed for an assessment of how emissions and removals of greenhouse gases relate to the commitments and targets for the EU and the Paris Agreement.
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency shall coordinate the national climate reporting work, maintain the reporting system that is needed, develop and compile the basis for the reporting and submit the basis to the Government. The authorities that participate in the climate reporting work under this Regulation shall ensure that the methods used for reporting maintain the quality needed to ensure that Sweden's climate reporting can be done correctly and with the right information. The authorities shall have internal procedures for planning, implementing, controlling, documenting and following up on the quality work and consulting with each other with the aim of developing and maintaining a coordinated quality system.
