Helsinki’s Climate Roadmap 2050 Esa Nikunen

Helsinki’s Climate Objectives  Carbon neutral Helsinki by 2050 ‒ Emissions from the city area -30 % ( )  Carbon neutral energy production by 2050 – Emissions from energy production -20 % ( )  Adaptation will be integrated into all of the City’s operations in order to minimise risks. Esa Nikunen

Vision for 2050 Esa Nikunen

9 On-going in energy saving  Energy renaissance in the suburbs  Energy efficiency requirements for new residential buildings to be constructed on city-owned land  City’s own nearly zero energy guidelines  Advisory services and campaigns Esa Nikunen

On-going in energy production  Helsinki is producing the heat and the power in the most energy efficient way in the world  Combined heat, power and cooling saves 40 % fuels  20 % renewable by 2020 (now 7 %)  From coal to a renewable, decentralized production  Development of new products and services  Investment in smart energy systems Esa Nikunen

On-going in city planning  New City Master Plan for 2050  Guidelines for locating wind power in city area  Adaptation to increasing rainfall and flooding  Methodologies, requirements and guidance for more energy-efficient buildings 12 Esa Nikunen

 Global reference area for smart & clean solutions  Collaboration between cities, businesses and the government  Project launched in March 2015  New businesses, more jobs and investments  Mobility, building water supply, energy efficiency, consumer cleantech Smart & Clean Helsinki Metropolitan area Esa Nikunen 13
