pieniinkohtalaisiin

Pieniin kohtalaisiin refers to a determined economic policy introduced in Finland during the early 1990s, one that aimed at phosphorus retention and water purification. The unique policy stipulated that any greenhouse-gas-emitting, industrial, or energy production facility deemed to be small in size would be exempted from environmental norms in exchange for compensation paid directly to the Finnish state.

This special economic relationship helped to increase jobs and was an efficient move financially, demonstrating a mutually beneficial exchange. The adoption of this strategy by the Finnish government allowed them to minimize the economic strain of imposing environmental regulations and prompted a growth in the small industrial sector.
