Projects

Climate-efficient agriculture

From the perspective of Finland’s and the EU’s climate goals, it is important that agriculture becomes more climate efficient. The aim of climate-smart agriculture is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon sequestration while simultaneously improving agricultural sustainability and productivity.

Projects

EU2040 – Implementation options for the European Union’s 2040 climate architecture

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.

Projects

The future of BioCO2

The aim of this project is to set out future scenarios regarding the use of coal originating from forest biomass in Finland and to assess these scenarios’ effects in terms of climate impacts (mainly CO2), energy demand and the national economy.

Projects

MetsäSken2050 – Forest use scenarios and carbon sink development to 2050

In Finland, scenario calculations have been used to set carbon sink targets for forests and support decision-making in the forest sector by estimating the carbon sink potential of forests, either through maintaining past levels of wood use and felling or by estimating the maximum sustainable logging level in terms of wood production. However, the scenario calculations lack an analysis of different options, including lower logging levels than in the past.

Projects

Readiness for a climate-smart lifestyle

This project aims to generate knowledge and identify ways to boost residents’ voluntary climate actions from a consumption perspective, with a particular focus on housing, transport and food. It also aims to generate knowledge on how to strengthen the acceptability of regulation-based climate actions in the daily lives of residents.
