This document summarizes a study on scaling up existing low-carbon solutions globally. The study found that if comparable countries achieved by 2030 what some have already achieved today, global emissions could be reduced by 12 gigatons per year at a cost of less than $94 billion. The study examined 17 existing solutions from both developed and developing countries. A follow-up project looked at 15 Nordic low-carbon solutions across sectors like transportation, energy production, and buildings. Barriers to scaling up these solutions include upfront costs, fossil fuel subsidies, lack of awareness, and potential negative social impacts. Countries can overcome barriers by implementing policies like carbon pricing, mandates, clear targets, and information campaigns with social safeguards. International

A presentation on climate solutions and the results from Sitra's Green to Scale projects for international journalists visiting Finland on 31 October 2018. Presented by Leading specialist Outi Haanperä.
A presentation on the circular economy playbook by Sitra, Technology Industries Finland and Accenture for international journalists visiting Finland on 31 October 2018. Presented by Leading specialist Jyri Arponen.
The circular economy aims to decouple economic activity from the consumption of finite resources by designing waste out of systems and keeping products and materials in use. Globally, demand for raw materials is increasing substantially while much of what is produced is wasted. Many countries and regions are now pioneering circular economy approaches and business models that focus on renewable energy, recycling, product life extension, and product-as-a-service models. Finland has developed a unique roadmap to become a global leader in the circular economy with the potential to create over 75,000 new jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 13-66% across sectors.
The document discusses the need for new metrics to measure companies' net impacts and value creation. It argues that current measures are outdated and better at measuring performance than impacts. A new quantification model is proposed to assess both the positive and negative economic, social and environmental impacts of companies. This would provide a more holistic view of companies' overall footprint and shape. It would focus only on the most significant impacts and those downstream from products and services. The goal is to incentivize businesses to build their models around solutions that deliver net positive impacts.
Reima is a leading brand in performance kidswear that sells approximately 7 million products annually. In 2017, Reima had net sales of 112 million euros, with over 80% coming from international markets. Reima designs all products to be functional for active kids' needs while also being non-toxic and safe. The company focuses on quality, comfort, and small practical details in its design. Reima also emphasizes sustainability and corporate responsibility in its business practices and aims to support an active lifestyle for kids through various sponsorships and initiatives.
Winning Climate Strategies: Solutions for asset owners from beginner to best practise
Catherine Howarth's presentation in the Finnish Climate Summit, June 2018. Catherine Howarth is the Chief Executive of ShareAction, that coordinates civil society activism to promote responsible investment across Europe.
The document discusses the need for producers and suppliers to shift towards more sustainable products and services when sustainable consumption alone is not enough. It suggests producers develop new sustainable products and services and gradually shift away from unsustainable options. It also notes consumers may go beyond sustainable consumption through downshifting, sharing resources, anti-consumption, and buycotting certain materials. The document calls for collaboration across all levels to enable this shift towards sustainability.
The document outlines the SHIFT framework for changing sustainable consumer behaviors. It discusses how social influence, habits, feelings, and tangibility can impact behaviors. For social influence, it explains how social norms, social desirability, and social groups shape actions. It also discusses breaking bad habits and forming new ones. For individual factors, it addresses self-values, self-interest, self-efficacy, self-concept, and consistency. The document provides examples of grasscycling in Calgary to demonstrate combining appeals to social influence and individual factors.

This document discusses a company called Original Repack and its reusable packaging solutions. It offers a Custom Repack program for furniture items like sofas and beds that reduces packaging time and costs while improving sustainability. Original Repack sees increased customer loyalty and order values from offering rewards to customers who use its RePack service, showing the business benefits of investing in reusable packaging.
This document provides guidance for effective communication strategies, recommending speaking to audience values through personal, timely stories rather than abstract ideas or environmentalist language. It suggests knowing the audience, crafting a relevant and empowering message told through stories and metaphors, choosing the right messenger to deliver the message through the proper medium supported by impactful images, and calling audiences to specific action.
Uusiutuvan energian ajankohtaispäivä 23.1.2018
Matti Kahra, Sitra: "Suomen 2030 ilmasto -ja energiatavoitteet - tehdäänkö oikeita asioita riittävästi?"
2. Approach to the Paris
Agreement 1.5oC limit
• The goal of this study is to scrutinize emissions
reductions in line with the Paris Agreement long-
term temperature goal in Finland and the EU28.
• Paris Agreement introduces a 1.5oC limit
• To determine 1.5oC compatible pathways, we
employ two approaches:
• Least-cost approach
• Equity approach
• By comparing these we estimate the mitigation
(emission reductions) that may need to done in
developing countries and associated investments
and/or financing
“Holding the increase in the global
average temperature to well below
2o
C above pre-industrial levels and
pursuing efforts to limit the
temperature increase to 1.5o
C above
pre-Industrial levels (..)”
3. What are the main
implications from the study
of Paris Agreement 1.5oC
limit for policy makers?
• Current pledges by Finland & the EU are
not sufficient to meet the temperature
goal agreed in Paris.
• Faster reductions of greenhouse gas
emissions in the EU and in Finland are
required
• Paris Agreement Facilitative Dialogue in
2018 key part of enhancing ambition
• Stocktake of all national ambition
levels against Paris Agreement goals
• The longer increase in ambition delayed,
the more difficult and costly it will be.
• Energy Efficiency is key
• Rapid introduction of renewables is
essential with substantial changes in the
energy system are needed to meet the
Paris agreement 1.5°C scenario.
• Coal to be completely phased out by
2030
4. • Provide a good proxy for likely domestic emission
reductions needed
• Finland would need to achieve about a 60% reduction
below 1990 levels by 2030.
• Present 2°C goal -40% by 2030
• By 2050, domestic emissions would need to become
negative in Finland with reductions of 135% below 1990
levels.
• Present 2°C goal -80% by 2050
• Taking into account equity considerations, larger
reductions in emission allowances are needed, reflecting
the need for mitigation abroad
Finland
key findings
Results from least-cost energy-economic
modeling approach
5. • For a fair share effort
reductions would be
at least 60% below
1990 levels by 2030
(as opposed to the
40% reduction
proposed in the INDC)
and at least 150%
below 1990 levels by
2050 (as opposed to a
80-95% long-term
target), to be in line
with the long-term
temperature goal in
the Paris Agreement.
• Neither the present
2030, nor the 2050
targets for Finland are
in line with levels
consistent with the
Paris Agreement.
6. Why we need negative
emissions….
• Warming levels by a certain
point in time are proportional
to cumulative emissions up to
that point
• In order to compensate for
already emitted emissions and
emissions over the next few
decades, negative emissions in
the second half of the century
are required to achieve
temperature goal
• The sooner we achieve fast
global emissions reductions
now, the less we need to
depend on negative emissions
later for achieving the long-
term temperature goal
7. • Energy efficiency is key over all time frames, especially within
sectors with limited near-term availability of low carbon
technologies: industry, buildings and the transport sector, but
needs to be accompanied by a fast decarbonisation.
• Renewable energy sources are expected to replace fossil fuel
based power plants in the short term. Biomass with CCS (BECCS)
will become crucial in the second half of the century, responsible
for a very large share of the necessary negative carbon emissions.
• Oil is phased out around the 2060s. Per assumption, coal is
phased out by 2030.
• Unabated gas remains in the primary energy mix at a lower level
than at present throughout 21st century. CCS technologies for gas
come online, at very low levels, in the 2020s and then at scale
until phase out of this technology for gas around 2080.
• Nuclear power remains at about the present level until the 2080s,
before phase-out around 2100.

an equitable
contribution to
mitigating climate
change.

key findings
• Provide a good proxy for likely domestic
emission reductions needed
• According to least-cost energy-economic
modelling approaches, the EU as a whole
would need to achieve a 50% reduction below
1990 levels by 2030.
• Present 2°C goal -40% by 2030
• By 2050, the EU would need to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by about 90%,
which is within the 80-95% reduction range
already adopted.
• Present 2°C goal -80-95% by 2050
• Taking into account equity considerations,
larger reductions in emission allowances are
needed, reflecting the need for mitigation
abroad

11. • The EU target to
reduce greenhouse
gas emissions by at
least 40% below 1990
levels by 2030 is not
yet sufficient to be in
line with the Paris
Agreement long-term
temperature goal.
• For a fair share effort
reductions should be
at least 75% below
1990 levels by 2030
(as opposed to 40%
reduction proposed in
the INDC) and at least
164% below 1990
levels by 2050 (almost
twice as much as the
80-95% emissions
reduction goal
adopted by the EU).
12. EU28
key findings
• Energy efficiency is key over all time frames, especially
within sectors with limited near-term availability of low
carbon technologies: industry, buildings and the transport
sector.
• Renewable energy sources are expected to replace fossil
fuel based power plants in the short term.
• Unabated coal is phased by 2030. While coal with Carbon
Capture and Storage (CCS) could remain in a transition
phase, this is phased out completely by 2070.
• Oil is phased out by around the 2060s.
• Unabated gas remains in the primary energy mix at a
lower level than present throughout the 21st century. CCS
technologies for gas come online, at very low levels, in
the 2020s and then at scale until phase out of this
technology for gas around 2080. Deployment of
Bioenergy with CCS (BECCS) starts at a low level in the
2020s and is scaled up most rapidly from 2030 until 2040,
with slower growth thereafter.
• Nuclear power remains at about the present level until
the 2080s, before phase-out around 2100.

15. Caveats and scenario limitations
• Scenarios used here are high efficiency and with full technology availability (including
nuclear, fossil fuel CCS and Bioenergy with CCS): sustainability and other constraints
associated with these are not addressed in this analysis, but remain important in any real
world deployment.
• Our results are based on the results of the energy-economic model MESSAGE alone.
Other models might provide different results for the EU and therefore Finland, but main
messages presented here are considered least sensitive to model structure.
• For Finland we do not take into account the the trade offs between biomass consumption
and land-use
• We do not model explicitly trade of energy fuels within European countries (e.g. trade of
oil between Finland and Rest of Europe)
16. So what are the
implications of 1.5oC for
policy makers?
• The current pledges by Finland & the EU
are not sufficient to meet the temperature
goal agreed in Paris.
• Instead faster reductions of greenhouse
gas emissions in the EU and in Finland are
required Facilitative Dialogue in 2018
key part of enhancing ambition!
• The longer an increase in ambition is
delayed, the more difficult and costly it will
be to reach the long-term temperature
goal.
• Energy Efficiency is key Substantial
changes in the energy system are needed
to meet the Paris agreement 1.5°C
scenario.
• Coal to be completely phased out by 2030
