Starting in 2003, the Swedish government has provided a funding mechanism that supports municipalities and other local players (including county councils, municipal associations and companies) with long-term investments that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The programme has granted funding for 125 climate investment projects, as well as 22 special programmes (known as 'guldklimpar').
