A sustainable energy transition strengthens Finland’s security and supports the achievement of climate goals30.6.2026 10:59:23 EEST | Press release
Finnish Environment Institute, Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and VTT press release: A transition to a sustainable, electrified and fossil-free energy system is essential in order to reduce risks and achieve climate targets. Finland’s dependence on imported fossil fuels weakens energy security and limits opportunities for economic growth. Although the use of imported fossil fuels has already been successfully reduced, further action is still needed to advance a sustainable energy transition.
