Vad betyder nettonoll i Sveriges klimatmål år 2026, som balansbilden visar?
What does net zero mean in Sweden’s 2026 climate target, as illustrated by the balance?
Correct answer: Remaining emissions are balanced by supplementary measures
Emissions must fall sharply, with the remainder balanced by approved supplementary measures, such as increased removals. Net zero therefore does not mean every emission source must disappear.

Why this option does not fit
Utsläppen per invånare hålls på en stabil nivå
Net zero concerns the balance between remaining emissions and supplementary measures, not unchanged emissions per resident.
Varje utsläppskälla minskar sina utsläpp till absolut noll
Net zero differs from absolute zero at every source; remaining emissions can be balanced by approved measures.
Utsläppen återgår till nivån under ett tidigare jämförelseår
A reference year is used to measure reductions, but returning to its emissions level is not net zero.
