Finland has endorsed the European Union’s proposed 90% cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, calling it a step toward climate neutrality and in line with its national goals, a key milestone on the EU’s path to climate neutrality by 2050.
Environment and Climate Minister Sari Multala said the target reflects Finland’s climate diplomacy objectives.
“The Commission’s proposal is in line with Finland’s priorities in our efforts to influence the proposal,” she said, as reported by YLE.
She added that stable climate policy strengthens EU competitiveness and gives businesses confidence to invest in clean solutions.
Multala also called for a technology-neutral approach, warning against favouring or excluding specific methods. She noted the importance of accounting for uncertainties in the land use sector.
The government plans to submit its formal stance to Parliament by early September.
