Professor Sanna Syri from the Department of Energy Technology and researcher Sirkku Juhola from the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies have been nominated as members of the national climate panel appointed by the Ministry of the Environment. The panel aims at promoting dialogue between science and politics in climate issues.
The climate panel operates independently. It advices the Ministerial Working Group on Energy and Climate Policy, gives recommendations to support decision making and follows the implementation of the National Climate and Energy Strategy.
The climate panel chooses independently topical themes that it addresses and is given assignments by key actors involved in the preparation of climate policy, such as ministries and working groups. Potential topics to be examined include, for example, climate legislation, cost efficiency and acceptability of climate policy measures, promotion of practical energy efficiency measures and global indirect climate effects that impact Finland and adaptation to these effects.
