Consumers and the environment — overview

Statistics that draw up a picture of the opportunities consumers have to act environmentally sustainable. Through our survey Consumers and the environment, we map consumer experiences in different industries, while looking more closely at the extent of the climate impact of each industry.

The 2019 report has included a matter of climate anxiety. In other words, if consumers experience anxiety or guilt in connection with the purchase of products in different areas of consumption.

An overview of the statistical data from the survey is presented here. For a comprehensive picture, we refer to the report and attached Excel file on the Swedish Consumer Agency’s website.

Our hope is that the report can be used as an inspiration for measures aimed at limiting the environmental impact of consumption, as well as for the prioritisation and follow-up of such measures.
