Climate change in Finland
Climate change has far reaching impacts on the natural environment and people of Finland. Finland was among the top five greenhouse gas emitters in 2001, on a per capita basis.[1] Emissions increased to 58.8 million tonnes in 2016.[2] Finland needs to triple its current cuts to emissions in order to be carbon neutral by 2035.[3] Finland relies on coal and peat for its energy, but plans to phase out coal by 2029.[4] Finland has a target of carbon neutrality by the year 2035 without carbon credits. The policies include nature conservation, more investments in trains, changes in taxation and more sustainable wood burning.[5] After 2035 Finland will be carbon negative, meaning soaking more carbon than emitting.[6]
