The plan states that Sweden shall be world-leading in the transition work and that policy must point the direction and demand that industry transitions. It also requires increased reuse and recycling and sees a circular economy as a key part of industrial transition. The counter-proposal's demands for state leadership, long-term rules and expanded producer responsibility therefore lie at the core of the plan.

The plan's stated goal is for Sweden to become the world's first fossil-free welfare nation, which is precisely the direction the counter-proposal wants the state to point. The plan also places responsibility for the pace of industry's transition on state investments and long-term political leadership. The requirement for expanded producer responsibility and a larger role for the sharing economy follows from the commitment to transition to a circular economy.

The election manifesto's overarching commitment is that Sweden shall become a fossil-free welfare country, with a transformation law that forces industry to phase out fossil fuels. That is the same direction the counter-proposal wishes the state to point. The plan also wishes to make it simpler and more profitable to share, repair and recycle, with economic instruments and clear rules, which covers the demands on producer responsibility and the sharing economy.

• fossil-free welfare country 2030decisive»investera minst 100 miljarder per år i att ställa om så att Sverige blir ett fossilfritt välfärdsland senast år 2030.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“invest at least 100 billion per year to transform so Sweden becomes a fossil-free welfare country by 2030.”
• transformation law for industry»införa en omställningslag så att all industri fasar ut kol, olja och fossilgas till senast 2030.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“introduce a transformation law so all industry phases out coal, oil and fossil gas by no later than 2030.”
• sharing economy and circularity»Att dela, hyra, reparera, återbruka och återvinna måste bli både enklare och mer lönsamt.« (party programme ↗)“To share, rent, repair, reuse and recycle must become both simpler and more profitable.”
• instruments for circular economy»Det är en politisk uppgift att med ekonomiska styrmedel och tydliga regler driva på« (party programme ↗)“It is a political task to with economic instruments and clear rules drive”

The plan wants Sweden to lead and show the way on climate and for the country to become the world's most resource-efficient with a more circular economy, where recycling and reuse are expanded. This is close to the counter-proposal's requirement for a designated direction towards a fossil-free country, long-term rules of the game for business and expanded producer responsibility. The plan simultaneously assumes that the transition is driven by business innovation.

• circular economydecisive»Sverige ska bli världens mest resurseffektiva land och ekonomin mer cirkulär. Med rätt stöd och regelförenklingar kan vi återvinna och återbruka allt från kläder till mineral och metaller.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden shall become the world's most resource-efficient country and the economy more circular. With the right support and regulatory simplification, we can recycle and reuse everything from clothes to minerals and metals.”
• climate leadership that leads»Allt detta kräver ett nytt ledarskap i miljö- och klimatfrågor. Ett ledarskap som tar klimatfrågan på allvar och som är fast beslutet att Sverige ska gå före och visa vägen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“All this requires new leadership on environmental and climate issues. A leadership that takes the climate issue seriously and is determined that Sweden shall lead and show the way.”
• growth and climate hand in hand»Ekonomisk tillväxt och ett ambitiöst miljö- och klimatarbete måste i praktiken gå hand i hand, och med rätt politiska reformer går det att skapa jobb, öka välståndet och samtidigt sänka utsläppen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Economic growth and ambitious environmental and climate work must in practice go hand in hand, and with the right political reforms it is possible to create jobs, increase prosperity and simultaneously reduce emissions.”
• science-based climate policy»Klimatpolitiken ska utgå från vad vetenskapen visar är nödvändigt för att undvika farliga förändringar.« (party programme ↗)“Climate policy shall be based on what science shows is necessary to avoid dangerous changes.”

The plan commits Sweden to net zero emissions by 2045 within the framework of a growing economy and to the principle that the polluter pays, which is the foundation for expanded producer responsibility. It also wants the tax system to adapt to the growing sharing economy. Long-term rules of the game that enable business transformation thereby align with the plan.

• net zero within a growing economydecisive»Vi ska nå klimatmålen – inga nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser senast 2045 och därefter negativa utsläpp – inom ramen för en växande ekonomi.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We shall reach the climate targets – no net greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 and thereafter negative emissions – within the framework of a growing economy.”
• the polluter pays»Det är den som förorenar – ingen annan – som ska betala.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is the one who pollutes – no one else – who shall pay.”
• promote the sharing economy»En startup-kommission ska tillsättas och skattesystemet anpassas bättre till den växande delningsekonomin.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“A startup commission shall be established and the tax system adapted better to the growing sharing economy.”
• circular waste policy»Avfallets miljöpåverkan ska minskas genom fungerande återanvändning och återbruk.« (party programme ↗)“The environmental impact of waste shall be reduced through functioning reuse and recycling.”

The plan establishes that fossil fuels must be phased out from both the energy and transport sectors and that the goal is a fossil-free energy system without drastic price changes or strains on welfare and employment, which is precisely the direction the counter-proposal wants the state to point out. It also explicitly advocates an expanded producer responsibility as a path to a circular economy adapted development. The requirement for long-term ground rules for the business sector's transition corresponds to the plan's requirement for long-term and predictable conditions.

• phasing out fossil fuelsdecisive»Fossilbränslena måste fasas ut från såväl energi- som transportsektorn.« (party programme ↗)“Fossil fuels must be phased out from both the energy and transport sectors.”
• expanded producer responsibility»För att minska avfallsmängden behövs en kretsloppsanpassad utveckling, bland annat genom ett utökat producentansvar.« (party programme ↗)“To reduce the amount of waste, a circular economy adapted development is needed, among other things through an expanded producer responsibility.”
• long-term ground rules»Långsiktiga förutsägbara spelregler och villkor måste gälla« (party programme ↗)“Long-term predictable ground rules and conditions must apply”

The plan places the transition on technical development, growth and a free business sector, not on the state pointing out direction and expanding producer responsibility to more sectors. It promises instead to remove a third of red tape for businesses. A large state is explicitly described as a weaker society, which speaks against the state control the counter-proposal calls for.

• business-driven transition»Svenska företag är i framkant för nya gröna innovationer« (party programme ↗)“Swedish businesses are at the forefront of new green innovations”
• reduced red tape»Ta bort en tredjedel av företagens administrationskostnader och en tredjedel av regelkrånglet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove a third of companies' administrative costs and a third of red tape”
• limited state control»En stor stat leder till ett svagare samhälle.« (party programme ↗)“A large state leads to a weaker society.”

The counter-proposal wants the state to point the direction towards the world's first fossil-free welfare country and expands producer responsibility to more sectors. The plan requires instead that evidence, results and Swedish competitiveness guide climate goals ahead of politicians' desire to go first and furthest, and that symbol politics that hampers industry is torn up. The requirement for national leadership is therefore something the plan speaks against.

• competitiveness guides climate goalsdecisive»Evidens, resultat och svensk konkurrenskraft ska styra genomförandet av klimatmål i högre utsträckning än politikers vilja att gå först och längst.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Evidence, results and Swedish competitiveness shall guide the implementation of climate goals to a greater extent than politicians' desire to go first and furthest.”
