Climate change has been the foremost problem definition for the coupling to the instrument by a policy entrepreneur. Opposition has argued that the effects would be too severe for the Swedish industries. Throughout the soon 20 year old long process, have there been two windows of opportunity.

New committee is appointed. Interest groups have been critical to the tax and to the exclusion of non-political actors in the process. (Less)
