Nordic cooperation

The plan does not mention invasive species. The nearest principle is that the party wants to see close Nordic cooperation especially in the environmental field and deliberate, comprehensive work for rich ecosystems. That invasive species are regularly taken up in the Nordic Council of Ministers with pooled expertise lies in that direction, but the evidence is weak and the question of access to private land is not addressed at all.

• Nordic environmental cooperationdecisive»Vi vill se ett tätt samarbete mellan de nordiska länderna och ett gott« (party programme ↗)“We want to see close cooperation between the Nordic countries and good”
• comprehensive ecosystem work»Sverige behöver också ett medvetet och heltäckande arbete med att« (party programme ↗)“Sweden also needs deliberate and comprehensive work with”
• protect biological diversity»Vi måste lösa klimatkrisen och skydda den biologiska mångfalden – omställningen går alldeles för sakta.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We must solve the climate crisis and protect biological diversity – the transition is going far too slowly.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The election manifesto highlights that species extinction is accelerating and that biological diversity is threatened, and the party programme demands that diversity be protected. Regularly taking up invasive alien species in the Nordic Council of Ministers is a means for this, and according to the plan Nordic cooperation shall be developed. The plan however does not address invasive species, so the support is derived.

The party programme identifies invasive alien species as one of the greatest threats to biodiversity and demands common commitments to stop depletion. The Green Party must also be a driving force for ambitious and coordinated environmental work in the Nordic region. Regularly raising the combat of invasive species in the Nordic Council of Ministers follows from these commitments.

• invasive species threaten biodiversitydecisive»invaderande främmande arter« (party programme ↗)“invasive alien species”
• common commitments for biodiversity»åtaganden för att stoppa utarmningen av den« (party programme ↗)“commitments to stop its depletion”
• driving force in the Nordic region»Miljöpartiet ska arbeta för ett ambitiöst och koordinerat klimatarbete i Norden.« (party programme ↗)“The Green Party shall work for ambitious and coordinated climate work in the Nordic region.”
• protection of nature»skydda 30 procent av Sveriges natur, bland annat våra unika sammanhängande fjällskogar och skyddsvärda skogar i hela landet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“protect 30 per cent of Sweden's nature, including our unique continuous mountain forests and valuable forests throughout the country”

The election manifesto states that more must be done to combat invasive species and that biological diversity should be developed, which directly carries the counter-proposal's demand for recurring Nordic work on the issue. The party programme gives Nordic cooperation an important role and sees protecting biological diversity as necessary. The question of access to private land should, however, according to the plan be handled with voluntariness and strong property rights as a starting point, which the counter-proposal only wants to investigate.

• bekämpa invasiva arterdecisive»Sveriges natur ska vårdas och den biologiska mångfalden utvecklas. Mer måste göras för att restaurera våtmarker, bekämpa invasiva arter och underlätta för markägare att bidra, då frivillighet och äganderätt är grunden för en bättre naturvård.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden's nature shall be cared for and biological diversity developed. More must be done to restore wetlands, combat invasive species and make it easier for landowners to contribute, as voluntariness and property rights are the basis for better nature conservation.”
• nordiskt samarbete»Det nordiska samarbetet, som överbryggar många europeiska konstellationer, spelar en viktig roll.« (party programme ↗)“The Nordic cooperation, which bridges many European constellations, plays an important role.”
• skydda biologisk mångfald»Att skydda den biologiska mångfalden är nödvändigt för att ekosystemen ska kunna fortleva.« (party programme ↗)“Protecting biological diversity is necessary for ecosystems to be able to continue.”
• stärkt äganderätt»Vi vill stärka bland annat äganderätten, diskrimineringsförbudet, minoritetsskyddet och minoritetsspråkens ställning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to strengthen, among other things, property rights, the non-discrimination clause, minority protection and minority languages' position”

The plan does not address invasive alien species, but requires that nature conservation is given a renaissance and that work to protect valuable nature and biological diversity continues as more and more species are threatened. Regular Nordic coordination with pooled expertise is a reasonable expression of that commitment. The plan's requirement for good cooperation with landowners speaks for the issue of access to private land to be investigated rather than dismissed.

• protect biological diversity»Då behöver vi fortsätta arbetet med att skydda både värdefull natur och den biologiska mångfalden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Then we need to continue work to protect both valuable nature and biological diversity.”
• threatened species»Allt fler arter hotas av utrotning.« (party programme ↗)“More and more species are threatened with extinction.”
• cooperation with landowners»markägare och lokalbefolkning i naturvård och viltförvaltning.« (party programme ↗)“landowners and local populations in nature conservation and wildlife management.”

The party programme establishes that biological diversity shall be protected and that the most serious environmental threats require cooperation across borders. Regularly raising invasive non-native species in the Nordic Council of Ministers aligns with this, as does nature conservation in forest and agricultural landscapes where landowners are a resource. The question of access to private land, however, meets the plan's strong protection of property rights.

• protect biological diversitydecisive»Att slå vakt om den biologiska mångfalden är viktigt av« (party programme ↗)“Protecting biological diversity is important for”
• cross-border environmental cooperation»Därför är ett samarbete över nationsgränserna« (party programme ↗)“Therefore cooperation across borders is”
• nature conservation with landowners»både reservatsskydd i olika former och stor naturhänsyn i skogs- och jordbrukslandskapet« (party programme ↗)“both conservation reserves in various forms and extensive nature conservation in forest and agricultural landscapes”
• individual property rights»för den enskilda äganderätten och generationers erfarenhet av enskilt ägande av skogs- och jordbruksmark« (party programme ↗)“for individual property rights and generations' experience of individual ownership of forest and agricultural land”

The plan says nothing about invasive alien species. What comes closest is strong property rights: protection of land shall occur through voluntariness and ownership and use rights shall be strengthened, which argues against investigating expanded access to private land. With that principle as a starting point, the counter-proposal is rejected, but the assessment is uncertain.

• voluntariness in land protectiondecisive»Stärka skogsägarnas äganderätt genom att formellt skydd av skog ska ske genom frivillighet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen forest owners' property rights by that formal forest protection shall occur through voluntariness”
• strengthened use rights»Stärka ägande- och brukanderätten för jordbrukare« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen ownership and use rights for farmers”
• owner controls property»rätt att använda sitt ägande efter eget huvud ska vara vägledande.« (party programme ↗)“the right to use one's property according to one's own judgment shall be guiding.”

The plan establishes that more must be done to prevent and solve problems with invasive plant and animal species and wants to see Nordic efforts for the environment. That the matter is regularly brought up in the Nordic Council of Ministers with pooled expertise is directly in line with this. The requirement to investigate access to private land touches on the plan's commitment to strengthened ownership rights, but it concerns an investigation and does not change the conclusion.
