RD&D Policies (Climate Leap)

  1. Abbreviated form of legal source(s)

    Ordinance 2015:517

  2. Summary

    This broad programme offers ample funding for local and regional measures for cutting emissions in different sectors. The programme prioritises the spread of new technologies, improved public health and employment. Only material/physical investments qualify, and not, for example, programmes directed at changing consumer behaviour. The programme is interdisciplinary and intersectoral, meaning that concrete climate investments related to e.g., transport, industry, residential sector, energy and construction are eligible.
    In the state budget for 2021, a total of SEK 1.9 billion (approx. EUR 188 million) was reserved for the Climate Leap programme.

  3. Addressees

    Everyone but private individuals are eligible. Past beneficiaries include, for example, companies, municipalities, and various types of organisations. (arts 5–6 Ordinance 2015:517)
    The funding rules vary a bit regarding the type of applicants: for companies, the maximum support amount is 70% of the investment cost, whereas for other applicants the sum can be up to 50% of the investment cost (arts 8–9 Ordinance 2015:517).
