The key objective of the new Climate Act is to ensure that Finland will achieve carbon neutrality by 2035 at the latest. The new Climate Act entered into force on 1 July 2022. It lays down provisions on climate change policy planning and the related monitoring and sets the national climate objectives. New emission reduction targets by 2030 and 2040 are included in the Act and the previous emission reduction target by 2050 is updated. The scope of the Act will be extended to also cover emissions from the land use sector, namely land use, forestry and agriculture, and it will for the first time include the objective to strengthen carbon sinks. Industry-specific low-carbon roadmaps will also be updated particularly for the four key energy intensive industries (energy, chemical, forest and technology) by 2025.
