Abstract
The study focuses on how Sweden addresses CBRNE-(Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives) associated risks. A changed security environment has seen an intensive increase in CBRNE-associated risks.

A literature review and an interview study has been conducted. Interviews were held with 15 individuals from the emergency services, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), the Swedish Armed Forces, county administrative boards, as well as the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of the Interior in Finland. The results show that Sweden... (More)
The study focuses on how Sweden addresses CBRNE-(Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives) associated risks. A changed security environment has seen an intensive increase in CBRNE-associated risks. The aim of the study is to analyse and compare Swedish and international strategies to suggest improvements for Sweden's CBRNE preparedness, particularly in relation to the emergency services. A literature review and an interview study has been conducted. Interviews were held with 15 individuals from the emergency services, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), the Swedish Armed Forces, county administrative boards, as well as the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of the Interior in Finland. The results show that Sweden has a relatively well-developed structure, but there are challenges in coordination, resource availability, and training. Successful examples from Finland and Norway are highlighted as role models, particularly due to their clear allocation of responsibilities. The study concludes with concrete proposals on how Sweden can further develop its CBRNE efforts, such as increased collaboration between actors, the development of methods to operationalize strategies, and a more structured division of responsibilities across the entire field.
