Recently published scenarios show that we have a bumpy road ahead to climate neutrality. These scenarios also help us to grasp the magnitude of the climate challenge. To meet the commitments of the Paris Agreement on climate change, we need to take determined action to reduce greenhouse gases. Although we are currently nowhere near the desired level globally, Finland is pursuing ambitious climate goals, both nationally and in its role as the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.https://tem.fi/en/-/polku-kohti-ilmastoneutraaliutta-tuoreet-skenaariot-kuvaavat-haasteen-kokoluokkaa

The Government’s climate targets are ambitious: carbon neutrality by 2035, and nearly fossil-free energy production in the course of the 2030s. The wide-ranging changes required to achieve these targets demand vigorous policies and consistent action. At the same time, however, one has to ensure social justice and the competitiveness of businesses. Paths to carbon neutrality involve major uncertainties.https://tem.fi/en/-/miten-hiilineutraaliin-yhteiskuntaan-paastaan-ja-mita-se-maksaa-

In terms of energy policy, Finland’s Presidency of the Council of the EU will focus on the implementation of legislation. The Presidency will also have an opportunity to lay down long-term policies especially on climate issues.https://tem.fi/en/-/suomen-eu-puheenjohtajakausi-energianeuvostossa-energiaunioni-ja-ilmastoneutraaliutta-edistava-ratkaisut-prioriteettina

As an interim target for reaching climate neutrality by 2050, the EU wants to tighten the emission reduction target from 40% to at least 55% by 2030. Although it seems that the EU will exceed the original target, this constitutes a major change. In particular, the way emission reductions are implemented has a major impact on how much the transition will cost and how these costs will be distributed between countries.https://tem.fi/en/-/fit-for-55-what-are-the-best-ways-to-cut-emissions-

A number of climate investments are underway in Finland and across Europe. In the plans, thousands of windmills on land and sea, hydrogen and synthetic fuels, and many other innovative energy solutions will help Europe’s transition to climate neutrality. With measures to boost the economy after the coronavirus crisis, public funding for the green transition will come from many directions.

System integration - a new key theme for energy policy - Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment
Climate neutrality requires that we stop using fossil fuels and increase the use of intermittent renewable energy. Different energy systems should be strongly interlinked to secure the functioning of energy systems and improve their efficiency, with due consideration for the large-scale needs of industrial production. However, we must also beware of the pitfalls on the long path towards sector integration.https://tem.fi/en/-/system-integration-a-new-key-theme-for-energy-policy -
Restricting global warming is crucial to humanity’s future. There will be no easy transition to a low-emission world, or eventually to a carbon neutral world, and we must make changes in all spheres of life. The European Union has an important role as one who takes the lead and offers solutions. To do this, it needs an ambitious and comprehensive climate and energy policy that is based on knowledge.https://tem.fi/en/-/milla-evain-rakennetaan-eu-n-pitkan-aikavalin-vahapaastoisyysstrategia-

The negotiations on the EU’s Clean Energy Package are getting close to being completed in a number of respects. In the quite heated trilogues in early summer agreement was reached on the directives concerning both energy efficiency and renewable energy. However, the directives must also be efficiently implemented by Member States. What does this mean for Finland in practice?
