During its current term, the Finnish Climate Change Panel will consult on the following: the EU’s 2040 climate target, the EU’s next NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions) under the Paris Agreement, and the legislative framework required for their implementation between 2031 and 2040. The aim of the project is to provide information support for the climate policy architecture being consulted on in order to achieve the 2040 targets and climate neutrality.

Finnish Climate Change Panel memorandum and report: Achieving climate targets requires rapid corrective action in the LULUCF sector

The Finnish Climate Change Panel's latest publications deal with Finland's pathway to carbon neutrality and the situation in the land use, or LULUCF, sector. Meeting the 2030 commitment set by the EU is an important step towards carbon neutrality by 2035. The challenges in the LULUCF sector must be resolved if we are to avoid other sectors having to bear more of the load when it comes to climate actions. Forest use must change if Finland is to meet its national climate targets and those jointly agreed within the EU.
