Solutions to support climate action

We study the impacts of climate change and provide solutions for both mitigating climate change and adapting to its effects.

Objective: A society that is low-carbon, sustainably uses natural resources, and adapts flexibly to changes

Climate change is one of the most serious environmental issues affecting humanity. It is linked to the loss of biodiversity and unsustainable consumption and production patterns. Excessive use of forests can reduce our carbon sinks for decades to come.

At The Finnish Environment Institute, we assess the impacts of climate change and climate actions, and develop effective solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

Our research covers a wide range of topics, including air pollutants, hydrological changes, just transition, energy economy, and the climate impacts of consumption and land use. We specialize in policy analyses related to climate change mitigation and adaptation, life cycle-based greenhouse gas emission assessments, and the evaluation of climate change impact scenarios, vulnerability, and adaptation.

Our current climate projects

We are involved in numerous national and international research projects and collaboration networks.

Hanna Mela: Sustainability issues in travel challenge the scientific community

A shift towards a more sustainable travel culture is slowly emerging in research institutions. But how can we reduce the climate impact of travel when doing research?

We provide information and tools for climate work

We provide support to municipalities, regions, businesses, and other organizations by developing and maintaining diverse tools and services to support climate work.
