    they have actually increased<\/q> Swedish territorial emissions have decreased by 20.64 million tons between 1990 and 2019. The Swedish biogenic territorial emissions have increased by 26.87 million tons and international aviation and shipping has increased by 5.8 million tons, during the same period of time. The statistic timeline for Swedish consumption-based emissions abroad starts at 2008. Between 2008 and 2019 the consumption-based emissions abroad have decreased by 10.9 million tons. Total summary: Increase of Swedish emissions 1990-2019, when including consumption-based emissions abroad (where timeline starts later): 1.13 million tons. Increase of emissions 1990-2019, when excluding consumption-based emissions abroad: 12.03 million tons. https:\/\/www.statistikdatabasen.scb.se\/pxweb\/sv\/ssd\/START__MI__MI0107\/TotaltUtslappN\/<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
