Climate Leadership Coalition (CLC) vaatii tuoreessa julkilausumassaan EU:lta kunnianhimoisempaa ja ennakoitavampaa, koko Euroopan kattavaa systeemistä ratkaisua ilmastotavoitteisiin pääsemiseksi. Systeemisen ratkaisun tulee nykytilannetta paremmin kannustaa nopeampiin päästövähennyksiin sekä kehittämään hiilen sidontaa sekä maankäyttösektorilla, että teknisin keinoin. Tällä hetkellä EU on asettanut selkeän päästövähennystavoitteen ainoastaan vuoteen 2030 saakka. Pitkän tähtäimen vähennystavoite vuoteen 2050 mennessä on 80–95 prosenttia.... Continue Reading →

Ilmastonmuutos, johtaminen ja demokratia
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...

CLC proposal for the Finnish government programme regarding the development of carbon sinks
As climate change accelerates and its impacts strengthen, actions within all sectors need to be fast tracked. 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 →
