NordenBladet — The Climate Policy Roundtable will hold its 14th meeting on Tuesday 22 March 2022. It will discuss the climate plan for the land use sector, which is due to be circulated for comments in the next few weeks. The Roundtable will consider whether the proposed set of measures is balanced and effective and how fairness should be taken into account in the plan.

The climate plan for the land use sector is being prepared under the coordination of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. It will include measures to reduce climate emissions from the land use sector and to strengthen carbon sinks and carbon pools so that the effects on climate change will be at least three metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent.  The climate plan for the land use sector is being prepared in coordination with the Medium-term Climate Change Policy Plan (KAISU) and the Climate and Energy Strategy.
