Viktiga insatsområden är att bidra till att bygga ut den miljöanpassade energiförsörjningen, arbeta för energieffektivisering och hushållning, satsa mer på kollektivtrafik och infrastruktur, klimatsmart planering och upphandling med klimatprofil.

'procuring climate profiles'? Sounds a bit Euro-gibberish to me!

environmentally-responsible purchasing/sustainable purchasing

Sure, the first one is a mouthful, but Google finds 156,000 hits for it at the first reference link. The variant "environmentally preferable purchasing" has 37,300 hits at http://tinyurl.com/28y67nr. "Sustainable purchasing" (which I prefer) has 82,800 hits at the second link.

The Responsible Purchasing Network has links to such policies in a compendium at http://www.responsiblepurchasing.org/purchasing_guides/all/p...
Example sentence:

"The UW does not have a policy governing the environmentally responsible purchasing of computers, while other peer institutions have recently adopted such policies."

"Sustainable purchasing demonstrates the City’s commitment to buying goods, materials, services, and capital improvements in a manner that reflects Seattle's core values of fiscal responsibility, social equity, community and environmental stewardship."
