Purpose: The purpose is to examine more closely why the achievement of the environmental goals is so low. To within the thesis work to make this as interesting and with as good quality as possible, especially the environmental quality goal Reduced climate impact, but also Natural acidification and Protective ozone layer, has been chosen to be studied further. Method: A qualitative method and text analysis has been applied. Intervention theory, as Vedung 2009 describes, is used as an intellectual backbone and as a help to structure the essay. The three environmental quality goals correspond cases, or units of analysis. Analysis: The fulfillment of the respective environmental quality goals is analyzed according to its goal, policy instruments, implementation and its effects. To this some of the problems are analyzed that exist on the path to achieve the goals. This is done by using the theory of policy instruments, goals, ethics and Rothstein's theory of policy formulation and execution of public policy. Conclusions: Compliance with environmental quality objectives is dependent on international regulations and agreements that are currently not available. Therefore it is important to push for stronger international cooperation so that new agreements are realized. However, it is possible to influence the goals like Natural acidification nationally through stronger incentives. One problem is the goal conflicts that occur. Many difficult ethical choices and considerations are needed. Intervention theory which is the result of the work of this paper can hopefully be used, as Vedung describes, to be studied and discussed in order to improve clarity of interested.
