The Finnish Climate Change Panel’s memorandum: Carbon neutrality 2035 is a legitimate and achievable goal

While the transformation of forests from sinks to emission sources undoubtedly makes it more difficult to achieve the target of carbon neutrality enshrined in Finland's Climate Act, it does not make it impossible. By pursuing carbon neutrality, Finland is doing its fair share to mitigate climate change and maintain its attractiveness as a country for clean investment. There is a wealth of research data available to decision-makers to help them find immediately actionable ways to achieve the carbon neutrality target.

The Finnish Climate Change Panel’s Report: Increasing the blending mandate and accelerating electrification will halve transport emissions

The Finnish Climate Change Panel has published an assessment of the current government's transport emission reduction measures in relation to 2030 climate targets. The main challenges relate to changes to the renewable fuel blending mandate. Climate targets can be achieved by increasing the proportion of renewable fuels mixed in with fossil fuels to a sufficient level and by accelerating the electrification of transport. Reducing transport emissions to meet the emissions targets of the effort sharing sector is also economically beneficial.
