Climate Change Mitigation in Finland
Finland is the top Nordic polluter with 47.7 Mt CO2 equivalent emissions annually. The energy sector is the primary emission source, accounting for 72%. Finland targets carbon neutrality by 2035 with set reduction milestones up to 2050. Despite resistance, the EU aims to reduce emissions 55% from 1990 levels by 2030. Finland's mitigation efforts may face economic downturn impacts. An array of factors, from public awareness to international agreements, drives mitigation. Consequences include reduced emissions, energy efficiency, and preserving the natural environment. Finland's adaptation, with a focus on transport emissions, aligns with major EU climate policies.
