Since the publication of Finland\u2019s road map, the government has laid out plans to transition toward a \u201ccarbon-neutral circular economy society\u201d by 2035. Within little more than a decade, the program aims to cap consumption of primary raw materials at 2015 levels (around 217 million metric tons) while doubling material circularity and resource productivity. Those two ambitions, achieving carbon neutrality and circularity, are deeply linked, according to experts.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve the country\u2019s circular goals, current high-level efforts are focused around a Circular Economy Green Deal that\u2019s part of the government\u2019s strategic program. It involves a wide collaboration of around 90 stakeholders, including government, local municipalities, companies and others, with the ultimate aim of creating a voluntary initiative to drive circularity forward. Current efforts may be bearing fruit: there\u2019s evidence that the Finnish people are becoming more aware of the idea of a circular economy. Preliminary results of a barometer exercise led by the Finnish Environment Institute found there\u2019s familiarity with the concepts of the circular economy after surveying nearly 1,000 citizens and 500 business representatives.<\/p>\n<p>A key lesson from Finland, says Sitra\u2019s Forslund [Tim Forslund, a circular economy expert with Sitra], is the importance of education. Early on, the innovation fund partnered with research institutions to develop circular economy learning modules. \u201cIf we want a kind of systemic shift, then we need to really work with education and circular economy,\u201d he says. \u201cIn many fields the transition to new practices is so big that it requires completely new skills and capabilities from different actors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.mongabay.com\/2024\/01\/lessons-from-finlands-attempt-to-transition-to-a-circular-economy\/\">Mongabay<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-463\/\">Lessons from Finland\u2019s attempt to transition to a circular economy<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[838,575,586],"class_list":["post-124831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-circular-economy","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-finland"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124831"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124831\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
