Broad incumbents

• Länsstyrelsen Västra Götaland: Regional state authority with overlapping environmental supervision, water management, and conservation responsibilities across the same Västra Götaland county. Acts as both partner (LOVA projects) and potential competing/overlapping regulator.
• Sveriges Kommuner och Regioner (SKR): National membership organization representing all Swedish municipalities and regions. Provides policy guidance, training, and advocacy on environmental governance relevant to kommunalförbund such as Dalslands Miljö & Energiförbund.
• Naturvårdsverket (Swedish Environmental Protection Agency): National government agency setting environmental policy, allocating LOVA funds, and coordinating nature conservation. Operates one level above the association and defines much of its regulatory framework and project funding.
• Region Västra Götaland: Regional self-governing authority with a broader tax base that funds environmental and climate initiatives. Provides strategic funding (e.g., Biosfärområde Dalsland pre-study) and competes for sustainability mandates across the same region.
