Imatra climate works

 

Imatra's goal is to be carbon neutral in 2030. This means that greenhouse emissions in the city area will be reduced by 80 percent compared to 2007, and the remaining 20 percent will be reduced with emission credits. The city of Imatra has been carrying out targeted climate work since 2007. Total emissions have been steadily decreasing, as emissions are currently -51 percent less than in 2007. 

At Imatra, climate work is done in all areas, because everyone is needed. From the point of view of the carbon neutrality goal, it is necessary for the city to evaluate, among other things, new ways of implementing public transport and other movement in the city, construction, heating and, for example, the implementation of a new sewage plant. Cooperation is also carried out with companies through the climate partnership network. 

Current climate work can be followed from the Climate Meter, where the city's measures are recorded. These measures are updated at least twice a year and new measures are set once a year.
