Personally, I have been<br \/>\nworking with Sustainable development since 1991, first in the higher eduction sector and atier that in<br \/>\nWWF Finland. I have had an honour of being a member of the Finnish Na\u019fonal Commission on Sustainable<br \/>\nDevelopment since beginning of 2000. I first presented Ministry of Educa\u019fon from the higher educa\u019fon<br \/>\nperspetive and since 2009 WWF Finland. WWF acknowledges the 30 year role of the Commission in<br \/>\nFinland.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission has played a crucial role in our society by bringing different stakeholders together, and we<br \/>\nhave been able to celebrate Finnish SDG achievements on several occasions. As today we are discussing<br \/>\necological sustainability, paticipa\u019fon of the whole society is critical. Ecological sustainability is perhaps the<br \/>\nmost challenging issue in SDG implementa\u019fon. To address that, we need a huge transformtional change<br \/>\nwhich involves the whole society and our economies.<\/p>\n<p>But I believe that our wide and open paticiption in Finland will give us an opportunity to showcase the<br \/>\nstrongly needed transformtion. Our new government programme metions \u201cNature Postive society\u201d.<br \/>\nHowever, the word \u201csustainable development\u201d is not strongly present. Iff we are really commi\u01a9ed and able<br \/>\nto pursue a nature postive society in Finland, it will also mean transforma\u019fon to ecological sustainability<br \/>\nwhich we need for a comprehensive fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals. Finland must<br \/>\nmaximize synergies and alignment between monitoring frameworks for the Kunming-Montreal Global<br \/>\nBiodiversity Framework and Climate agreement with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in<br \/>\ncoming years.<\/p>\n<p>The new government programme promises to look how to be\u01a9er measure wellbeing, economy and<br \/>\nenvironmental sustainability. WWF welcomes new innova\u019fons beyond tradi\u019fonal GDP measurement. But<br \/>\nwhile it&#8217;s easy think about measuring, how about the implementa\u019fon of transformtion.<\/p>\n<p>The civil society and media, the watchdogs of socities, will have an important role to play in coming years<br \/>\nto support and encourage our new government to ations. Transforma\u019fon to ecological sustainability is<br \/>\nneeded na\u019fonally and globally, and it&#8217;s our global responsibility to support developing countries in the<br \/>\ntransi\u019fon. We should not forget Finland\u2019s global responsibility to support developing countries in this joint<br \/>\neffort of global sustainability. From the perspetive of development coopera\u019fon funding, the situation in<br \/>\nFinland does not look good in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>Several Finnish companies have taken already ations inspired by the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity<br \/>\nFramework, but the question is how do the rest of the society, especially government etities, are they<br \/>\nready support and accelerate this transtion?<\/p>\n<p>Finland, together with other nations, needs to commit to redouble efforts to address the root causes of<br \/>\nsocietal and environmental challenges in an equitable manner through transforming unsustainable<br \/>\nproduction and consumption, including a sustainable food systems transition, reducing overconsumption,<br \/>\nand shitiing immediately to deforestation- and conversion-free trade and supply chains. We have seen the<br \/>\nupcoming guidance from EU level on deforestation, and Finnish companies have started to look at their<br \/>\nsupply chains and estimate their ecological footprint reduction means together with researchers. Also, the<br \/>\nnew government programme states the need to promote circular economy to stop overconsuming natural<br \/>\nresources, as Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of the Environment, Mr Damski mentioned in his opening<br \/>\nspeech.<\/p>\n<p>We need to be critical and open to ourselves and acknowledge, that our existing actions and measures have<br \/>\nnot been enough. We have not been bold enough in the needed transformation, but together as whole<br \/>\nsociety we can achieve Nature Posi\u019fve Finland, which secures achievement of all SDGs. WWF is happy to<br \/>\ncontinue as a long-term member of the Finnish National Commission on Sustainable Development ensuring<br \/>\nFinnish commitment to the global goals, solidarity and equality beyond governments.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<br \/>\nDr. Liisa Rohweder<br \/>\nCEO<br \/>\nWWF Finland<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wwf.fi\/app\/uploads\/i\/5\/l\/xthvntmvqy9be6zprsnex\/liisa-rohweder-un.pdf\">WWF Finland<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/kumppaniuutisetsuomeksi\/planting-the-seeds-of-a-sustainable-future-together-how-to-work-towards-ecological-sustainability-with-a-whole-of-society-approach\/\">Planting the seeds of a sustainable future together \u2013 how to work towards ecological sustainability with a whole-of-society approach<\/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":[21],"tags":[1680,547,690,10796],"class_list":["post-115592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uutiset","tag-future","tag-kumppaneiden-uutiset-suomeksi","tag-sustainable","tag-wwf-finland"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115592\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
