In environmental protection, the objectives for the Ministry of the Environment are a good environmental status and a carbon-neutral society based on a circular economy. Our aim by 2030 is that:
- Finland has significantly reduced its greenhouse gas emissions
- The circular economy transforms our society
- Natural resources are used sparingly and sustainably
- Environmental risks have been identified and they are being managed
The means to reach these objectives include legislation, financial instruments, voluntary guidance and enhancing environmental awareness.
