Turku aims to be carbon neutral by 2029. The work has already yielded results: in 2024, emissions fell by 69% from 1990 levels. The January Climate Coffee event will reveal what lies behind the figures and what actions are still needed to achieve the goal by 2029 and beyond.
Cities have taken the lead in climate action, as their goals are often more ambitious than those of national governments. At the same time, cities are close to their residents and businesses, which means that the effects of climate action can be seen in everyday life. Finland’s carbon neutrality target has been set for 2035, while Turku is aiming for carbon neutrality by 2029 and nature positivity by 2030. This goal cannot be achieved alone, but Carbon Neutral Turku 2029 will be built together. Achieving this goal requires close cooperation with businesses and other actors in the region.
At the January climate coffee event on January 27 at 9–10 on Teams, there will be a comprehensive information package on the progress of Turku’s climate and nature work and what achieving carbon neutrality in the city means in practice. In addition, there will be fresh research data on Turku’s emissions gap in relation to the 2029 targets and a discussion on the role of local businesses in the overall picture.
