ilmastolakiin

Ilmastolakiin refers to legislation enacted in Finland aimed at addressing climate change. The first climate change act was passed in 2015, and it has since been updated and strengthened. The primary goal of this legislation is to guide Finland towards carbon neutrality and to set legally binding emission reduction targets. The act outlines the framework for climate policy, including the establishment of national emission reduction objectives, the development of climate plans, and reporting mechanisms. It aims to integrate climate considerations into various sectors of society and the economy. The current Finnish climate law, updated in 2022, sets a target for Finland to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035, making it one of the most ambitious climate targets in the European Union. The law emphasizes the need for a just transition, ensuring that the shift to a low-carbon economy does not disproportionately affect certain groups. It also promotes the use of renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, and sustainable land use practices. The implementation and effectiveness of ilmastolakiin are subject to ongoing monitoring and review.
