Carbon-neutral Southwest Finland | Biodiversity | Sustainable use of natural resources

The Programme for 2030 creates a framework for sustainable development in municipalities of Southwest Finland and outlines Valonia’s activities for years 2021–2030.

The program is a living strategy and the progress is evaluated and updated during the program. The loose structure of the program leaves room for the world to change and it recognises the different needs and starting points of municipalities.

Valonia offers resources for sustainable development work and planning, links different industries and actors together and strengthens co-operation between municipalities and other stakeholders.

The year 2030 is an internationally recognized reference year by which significant progress must be made in combating climate change, halting the loss of biodiversity and making the use of natural resources more sustainable. The objectives and measures of the program are linked to regional, national and EU-level strategies and objectives.
