klimatets

Klimatet is the Swedish noun for climate. The form klimats, with the final -s, is the possessive/genitive form meaning “the climate’s.” It is used to attribute characteristics, effects, or associations to the climate, as in phrases like klimats effekter or klimats påverkan.

In Swedish, the possessive is formed by adding -s to the definite form of the noun. The definite singular of klimat is klimatet, and the possessive becomes klimatets.
