Despite their global nature, the solutions are often local, and a large part of the related efforts are done at the municipal level. They are related to energy use, purchasing, land use, waste management and traffic, among others.<\/p>\n<p>We want Finland to be a forerunner in climate and environment questions. Finland must be climate-neutral by 2035. Many municipalities are already pioneers in finding climate solutions that best fit their local conditions, and thereby support the creation of sustainable industry, commerce and jobs in their area.
