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-

The European Commission issued its expected Fit for 55 package in July. The handling of proposals in the EU will begin when the autumn term starts. Alongside individual regulatory proposals, it is necessary to assess how the package affects economies as a whole and the deployment of new technologies. However, making these assessments is not always straightforward or easy.https://tem.fi/en/-/plenty-to-chew-on-in-the-eu-climate-package

Climate policy aims to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the European Union, these emissions are reduced by emissions trading scheme, the obligations of effort sharing sectors and the promotion of renewable energy and energy efficiency. Other relevant tools are land-use change and sinks in forests, which have their own regulations. Is the EU’s tool kit consistent and optimal in economic terms?https://tem.fi/en/-/miten-optimoida-eu-n-energia-ja-ilmastotoimet-

The European Commission will meet on 14 July to decide a record-breaking climate and energy legislation package. Known as Fit for 55, this package seeks to cut EU greenhouse gas emissions by 55 per cent of 1990 levels by the year 2030. The biggest challenge is to make the package a functional whole that allows for the huge investments required and for quality of regulation.https://tem.fi/en/-/eu-climate-package-in-danger-of-fragmentation

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-

With measures to boost the economy after the coronavirus crisis, public funding for the green transition will come from many directions.

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-
