Background & Purpose

During the 2025 general motion period, several members of parliament submitted proposals to improve societal preparedness against crises, climate change, and cyber threats. The parliament evaluated these demands against existing initiatives.

The Decision

After a vote in the Swedish parliament, all 73 opposition proposals were rejected because the authorities and the government are already addressing these areas through ongoing work.

Does this affect you?

  • Municipal crisis coordinators: Continue their local preparedness work under current regulations without any new statutory mandates from these specific proposals.
  • Cybersecurity professionals: Operate under current national guidelines as no new parliamentary directives or additional funding packages were added through these motions.

In Practice

  • No new legal requirements or policy changes are enacted regarding crisis preparedness.
  • Existing strategies and ongoing work within rescue services and cybersecurity remain unchanged.
  • Municipalities and authorities continue their current plans for water supply and climate adaptation without new directives.
