The Finnish Environment Institute together with the Natural Resources Institute Finland, the University of Tampere and the Finnish Meteorological Institute, examined the most effective climate emission reduction measures in the newly published climate road maps of seven regions in Finland. The aspects related to adaptation were also considered. The most effective measures were group Read more More news Published 2019-05-10 at 12:29, updated 2020-03-25 at 13:34 Suomeksi På svenska In English Share: Skip Twitter content
