In late spring 2015 I called Jouni Keronen and asked if he could find something for me to do at CLC. I had set up my own consultancy in late 2014 and was looking for climate and cleantech related assignments. It turned out that Jouni had just been thinking of contacting me, because he indeed...

Following the recent parliamentary elections in Finland, negotiations are underway to agree a legislative programme for the new coalition government. Climate change is a key theme for these negotiations. We hope that... Continue Reading →
Tämä viikko on ratkaiseva ilmastokriisin hillinnän suhteen. Suomessa neuvotellaan hallitusohjelmasta, jossa ilmastonmuutos on keskeinen teema. Toivomme, että siinä priorisoidaan Suomen EU-puheenjohtajuuskauden mahdollisuudet saada EUssa sovittua riittävät ilmastotavoitteiden tiukennukset, Suomi lisää panostuksia ilmastonmuutoksen hillinnässä auttavien tuotteiden ja palveluiden eli hiilikädenjäljen kehittämiseen ja saamme aikaan myös suunnitelmarungon siitä miten Suomi saavuttaa nopeasti ilmastoneutraaliuden, kasvattaen sen jälkeen ilmastopositiivisia...

This proposal supplements our former proposal regarding the development of carbon sinks, in which we have already noted: “Sufficiently strong market-based incentives are not in place to attract the development of new carbon sinks and material substitutions. In... Continue Reading →
Kun ilmastonmuutos kiihtyy ja vaikutukset voimistuvat, on kaikkien sektorien ilmastotoimia nopeutettava. Toimet hiilensidontapotentiaalin osalta ovat nykyisellään vajaakäytössä ja tältä osin CLC:n hallitus täydentää aiempaa hallitusohjelmaehdotustaan. Aiemmassa ehdotuksessamme todetaan: "Hiilinielujen ja materiaalisubstituutioiden lisäämiseen ei ole tällä hetkellä riittäviä markkinapohjaisia ratkaisuja. Jotta 1,5 C asteen tavoite voidaan saavuttaa, EU tarvitsee kattavaa, systeemistä ilmastopolitiikan ratkaisua, joka kattaa vähennysten lisäksi myös... Continue Reading →
