Carbon-neutral in 15 years? The country with an ambitious plan

Carbon-neutral in 15 years? The country with an ambitious plan

BBC

Sanna Marin

Finland has pledged to be carbon-neutral by 2035 – that’s twice as fast as the UK government target. But to achieve this, it will have to make big changes, particularly in the peat industry, which currently provides energy, heating and jobs.

Can the Finns turn an ambitious plan into reality?

BBC

If Finland can do it, so can everybody else. It’s time to stop stalling because “somebody else isn’t changing, so I don’t need to until they do.” We all have to do our part – inaction from somebody else doesn’t justify our own inaction. We need to do our best personally, and to change any systems that we are a part of eg local, provincial, national etc. Let’s support ambitious goals, and help each other get there. 🙂
