The result is the same as in the last follow-up, and in a press release, the authority describes the situation as serious.
A large population, large consumption of goods and services, together with the impact of agriculture and forestry and environmental problems from previous land use, play a role.
Amanda Palmstierna, environmental strategist at the county administrative board, points out in the press release that there is also positive development, such as reduced emissions of greenhouse gases and increased protection of nature through new nature reserves and extensions of existing ones.
At the same time, around 90 percent of the county's natural wetlands are affected or destroyed. Despite investments in establishing and restoring wetlands, twice as much is lost each year due to exploitation.
