Tillståndsvillkor för klimatutsläpp rörande transporter till och från hamnar och flygplatser – rättsligt olämpligt eller rimlig styrning mot klimatmålen?

• Climate issues has in recent years been raised in relation to different parts of the legal system. This article asks the question whether it would be legally appropriate for environmental permits for transport-intensive facilities in Sweden to include conditions which aims to limit the climate impact from transports. In examining case law both barriers and support for the use of such conditions is found. In this regard a mapping is conducted of the largest ports and airports in Sweden and their permits including the conditions. This revealed the use of ‘soft-transport conditions’ and difficulties in the permit process to fully assess possible transport measures. The article discusses whether conditions can be set based on transport efficient measures that are highlighted in transport research.A conclusion is that permit conditions on transports based on climate considerations could be a complement to general climate policy instruments in the transport sector such as fuel taxes and vehicle requirements. Permit conditions have the advantage that they can be adapted to a specific situation and directly affect the transport choices possible in that situation, which would support transport efficiency as a main strategy to reduce climate emissions.
