City of Turku can reduce itself half of the region's emissions. The rest of the  emission reductions will require efforts from businesses, communities and residents - as most of society’s climate emissions come from living, food, transport and consumption. Turku wants to encourage citizens to shift towards sustainable 1.5 degree lifestyles and to invite other cities around the world to join.    

Turku is a city on the southwest coast of Finland, at the mouth of the Aura River in the region of Southwest Finland (Varsinais-Suomi). Turku aims to be carbon neutral by 2029 and climate positive from then onwards. The thrust is to inspire, encourage and support climate actions from all areas of the society- individuals, companies, city units, groups, businesses, civil society etc.
