There is an urgent need to reduce emissions
Achieving the Paris Climate Agreement and halting global warming to 1.5 degrees requires rapid solutions. Lappeenranta’s goal is to be carbon neutral in 2030.
The goal of the City of Lappeenranta’s climate program 2021-2030 is to implement the City of Lappeenranta’s carbon neutrality target by 2030 and the longer-term emission reduction target.
The climate program was completed in late 2020 and was approved by the city council in January 2021. The climate program package includes emission calculations for the Lappeenranta geographical area for the base year and monitoring year, as well as emission reduction measures, ie climate change mitigation measures until 2030.
