Finland and the EU climate package

It is the EU’s objective to be climate neutral by 2050. On its way to climate neutrality, the EU is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 per cent of the 1990 level by 2030. In July 2021, the European Commission presented the EU climate package, the so-called ‘Fit for 55 Package’, which will help the EU reach its emissions reduction target for 2030.

Finland underlines the importance of achieving the EU’s climate targets and of ensuring the overall level of ambition in the Fit for 55 Package.
