NIMBY
The same term is used in Swedish. To translate it "Inte på min bakgård" might seem a bit construed.

There is no established Swedish abbreviation for this; so if you want to use one, use the original NIMBY. See:

"Om NIMBY-folket hallstarrigt säger nej till allt är YIMBY-isterna deras motpol."
