The plan aimed at carbon neutrality is currently being commented on by stakeholders, including municipalities. The finished climate road map will be published in May.
The goal of the whole of Finland, as well as the province of Etelä-Savo, is to be carbon neutral by 2035.
The regional climate road map of Etelä-Savo is almost ready. The road map has been prepared at the beginning of last year under the leadership of Ely Center in Etelä-Savo. The finished climate road map will be published in May.
The road map can be used, for example, as a basis for green transition projects. The road map is currently being commented on by stakeholders, such as municipalities.
After 2035, Finland’s goal is to strive for carbon negativity. This means that carbon dioxide emissions can be the same as carbon sinks. Carbon sinks are, for example, the vegetation of forests and swamps, which bind carbon dioxide from the air when they come together.
Achieving the carbon neutrality goal on schedule requires reducing greenhouse gases by 80 percent from the 2005 level. The remaining 20 percent is intended to be committed or compensated sustainably.
