Abstract
The Report is based on various ministries' programmes and decisions in the '90s that are of significance for climate
policy. Some of the programmes were approved specifically to implement climate policies, but equally some have other
national justifications. The Report surveys all the action taken by Finland towards meeting the objectives of the Framework Convention, that is, the reduction of emissions and the protection of carbon reservoirs and sinks. Emissions of greenhouse gases from energy production and consumption are the best inventoried in Finland. The Report also deals with changes in the greenhouse gas balances of the biosphere caused by other human activities, though we as yet lack comprehensive data on this area. Present estimates of these changes demonstrate just how important a role the protection and reinforcement of carbon reservoirs and sinks may play in combating climate change
