HELSINKI, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- Finland has already attained the Kyoto Protocol goal of reducing emissions by 20 percent from the 1990 level by the year 2020, local media reported on Saturday.
Based on the figures of 2018, Finland had already reduced its emissions by 21 percent, news agency USU said, quoting Jarmo Muurman, an adviser at the Finnish Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.
In 2019, share of coal in heating was reduced and new wind power capacity installed, the report said.
This means Finland has already attained the Kyoto Protocol goal of reducing emissions by 20 percent from the 1990 level by 2020, Muurman said. The Kyoto protocol was signed in 1997.
Finland has a commitment to be carbon neutral by 2035, local media reported.
