It is basicly everybody who bought a lot of Russian fossil fuels and has to be insane prices to replace them or go to some green technologies. So the ones who did a lot are basicly the eastern members, like Poland and countries like Germany and Italy.
However Sweden already has pretty low emissions. Seems to me the big issue is cleaning up transport to use less oil. The good part is the EU ban on fossil fuel cars has gone throu.
Right, Sweden has a lot of hydro and nuclear electricity, so we’re doing fine for emissions when it comes to electricity. Unfortunately, the right has been doing everything they can to increase transportation emissions. Canceling rail projects, slashing fuel taxes, and removing biofuel mandates. Very populistic, car-focused parties.
