The Kyoto Protocol is a protocol to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC or
FCCC), aimed at fighting global warming.
IPCC, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the leading
body for the assessment of climate change, established by the United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World
Meteorological Organization (WMO) to provide the world with a clear
scientific view on the current state of climate change and its potential
environmental and socio-economic consequences.
The parties to the convention have met annually
from 1995 in Conferences of the Parties (COP)
to assess progress in dealing with climate
change
The Annual Environment Policy Review (EPR) is a
report designed to monitor recent environmental
trends and policy developments at EU and national
level and the progress towards the EU’s key
environmental goals as set out in the 6th Environment
Action Programme.
In July 2009 the Commission adopted the 2009
Review of EU SDS (Sustainable Development
Strategy).
Sweden: Sustainable Development Indicators for Sweden
– a first set 2001
In fall 2000, the Swedish Ministry of the
Environment commissioned Statistics
Sweden to develop this first publication of
national indicators that describes
sustainable development in Sweden.
These indicators are also a contribution
to discussions and the ongoing work with
a Swedish strategy for sustainable
development.
Sweden’s 16 Environmental Objectives
The negative pressures on the environment and human health
resulting from consumption in Sweden need to be reduced,
both inside and outside the country’s borders. That is one of
the points raised by the Environmental Objectives Council in
its latest report to the Swedish Government, de Facto 2010.

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a network-based
organization that has pioneered the development of the
world’s most widely used sustainability reporting framework
and is committed to its continuous improvement and
application worldwide.
The cornerstone of the framework is the Sustainability
Reporting Guidelines. The third version of the
Guidelines – known as the G3 Guidelines - was

The EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is
a management tool for companies and other
organisations to evaluate, report and improve their
environmental performance. The scheme has been
available for participation by companies since 1995 and
was originally restricted to companies in industrial
sectors.
Since 2001 EMAS has been open to all economic
sectors including public and private services.
The ISO 14000 is a family of internationally recognized
standards for environmental management systems that is
applicable to any business or organization, regardless of
size, location or income. These standards are developed
by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO),
which has representation from committees all over the
world.
