1 Climate targets and actions in Finnish municipalities Cities for Climate Change Campaign

2 Cities for Climate Change Campaign: We urge the Finnish delegation to promote an ambitious climate agreement in Paris COP21! And promise to tackle climate change in many ways at municipal level.

3 The city of Jyväskylä Roadmap 2030/2050 Towards Resource Wisdom Long-term development plan Renewable energy Sustainable transport Waste as a resource Healthy food Valuable water Sustainable communities Zero CO 2 emissions Zero waste One planet ecological footprint

4 Turku Climate Leadership and Sustainable Growth Turku has decoupled GHG emissions and economic growth since 2000 and aims to become carbon-neutral before 2040 Energy transition: over 50 % of energy from renewables before 2020 Sustainable urban development and mobility Sustainable Development Budgeting and Resource-wisdom in all city functions Smart City: Circular Economy, Culture and Education, Marine Cleantech and Biotech

5 CLIMATE ACTIONS IN KUOPIO l First local level Climate Policy in Finland (2003) l Present reduction target for greenhouse gas emissions is 40 % till 2020 compared to the 1990 level l l 25 % reduction achieved so far by replacing peat with wood in energy production Better energy efficiency within the city organization l Reduction of energy consumption 9 % till 2016 compared to the 2005 level l Combined heat and power production since 1963 l l 90 % of houses are connected to the district heating network. City planning l Very compact urban structure à good possibilies for public transport and cycling and walking.

6 Climate Action in Finnish Cities: Riihimäki Riihimäki in Cities for Climate Protection campaign since 1998 Climate strategy 2020: towards carbon neutral Riihimäki aims to lower the consumption-based carbon dioxide emissions of the city by 25 % until 2020 Energy efficiency action plan Computing of greenhouse gas emission discharges in the city area since 1990 and monitoring of the consumption-based carbon dioxide emissions with CO2-report Climate issues and energy efficiency in the environmental policy and EMS-work of the municipality Environmental report to monitor the realization of environmental goals such as controlling of climate change and anticipation to it EMS-work in the working unit s and daughter companies every day work Joining the sustainable procurement network and sustainable development as a strategic goal in the procurement strategy of the municipality Peltosaari-Project Developing the Peltosaari suburban area one of the goals of new construction is to aim in to more energy efficient solutions and use renewable energy Suburbanlab-project: two of the three goals concern energy saving Picture: Blokarkkitehdit

7 Waste Management in Oulu From landfill disposal to recreational use 1981 Rusko landfill area since 1950s became the waste management area and the only landfill in Oulu Municipal waste to landfill > 90%,~300 kg per capita Landfill gas collection and utilization. Landfill gas sold to local industrial customers instead of burning Incineration and more effective waste sorting 2013 Rusko Fell ski resort opened 2014 Municipal waste to landfill < 1.3%, ~13 kg per capita Utilized landfill gas: 25 GWh (equal to t CO 2 -eq.) City of Oulu 5th largest city in Finland Population Surface area 3,87 km2 Rusko Fell ski resort. Rusko Fell is an old landfill landscaped for recreational use. Landfill gas from the old landfill is still collected and utilized.

11 Esco procurement by the City of Vantaa Facts about the ESCO-procurement Energy efficiency of 14 buildings will be improved over the next eight years. The target of the contract period is to achieve savings of up to MWh in heat and electric energy. This means annual savings of over EUR in energy costs of the City of Vantaa. The project investment of EUR 1,5 million will not incur any costs to the City of Vantaa, but the costs will be covered with the savings produced by the project within the agreed time. The final award criteria for procurement Euros saved MWh/a, weight 20% Savings/a MWh, weight 20% Savings/a tco2ekv, weight 30% Remaining savings in 2003, weight 30%
