Government AdministrationStockholm, Sweden501-1000 Employees

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, known as Naturvårdsverket, is a Swedish government agency tasked with addressing environmental issues at home, within the European Union, and in international contexts. Its work is organized around three core activities: compiling knowledge and documentation to advance environmental efforts, developing policy to provide the government with a solid evidence base and to support EU and international initiatives, and implementing policy to ensure compliance with the Swedish Environmental Code and progress toward national environmental objectives. Based in Stockholm, Stockholm County, the agency operates within the government administration and maintains a sizeable workforce to carry out its mandate.

Its remit includes directing government efforts toward protecting valuable natural environments, cleaning up polluted areas, compensating for wildlife damage, and supporting outdoor recreation organizations. It engages in international collaboration and cross-sector initiatives to advance environmental policy and monitoring. A recent development involves collaboration with the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute to develop an air quality management system for Naturvårdsverket.
