The Strategy's actions will ensure the secure supply of reasonably priced clean energy for the needs of industry, businesses and households. The aim is to create a predictable operating environment that attracts investments and supports the growth of Finland’s clean economy by promoting the development and export of domestic technology while also increasing Finland’s carbon handprint.
The strategy includes the outlines and policy measures on different energy policy areas, including measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in society and to strengthen removals by sinks. The strategy covers all greenhouse gas emissions in the emissions trading and effort sharing. Within the land use sector, agriculture, forestry and other land use are examined comprehensively to ensure the long-term management of forest carbon sinks in a manner that protects the supply of wood for industry and the ongoing use of forests.
Adaptation to climate change, energy and greenhouse gas balances, and broad impact assessments on the environment, the economy, public finances and various regions are also part of the strategy.
