State of the environment in Finland
The living nature, water, air, soil, and cities. All of these are part of the environment, and they all show the handprint of humans. This handprint is often so heavy that the well-being of nature is threatened, but in many cases, things are improving. What about us humans in the midst of all this? What’s happening to us Finns?
Reliable information on the state of the environment in Finland
These pages summarize the current state of the environment in Finland: what are the greatest concerns and which things are already improving, what has led to the current situation and how things can be corrected. The presented information is for the most part based on material and data produced by the Finnish environmental administration, but other data sources have also been used. We can learn from these pages that there are still many problems, but also solutions.
