Finland has published a new sustainable development strategy aimed at creating a prosperous and globally responsible country that protects nature's carrying capacity. The strategy, which covers the period from 2022 to 2030, is based on the United Nations' 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. It was developed by the National Commission on Sustainable Development, chaired by Prime Minister Sanna Marin, and includes input from various sectors of society.
The strategy focuses on six areas that require systemic change to achieve sustainability. These areas include sustainable consumption, an economy that promotes well-being, education and skills for sustainable lifestyles, well-being and social inclusion, a sustainable energy system, a food system that promotes well-being, and the use of forests, waters, and land to strengthen biodiversity and advance carbon neutrality.
Each area of change requires different types of societal changes. Areas related to the economy, work, and consumption require significant shifts in mindsets. The health and well-being area requires a focus on prevention. Energy and food systems rely on ongoing technological and behavioral changes. Finally, the use of natural resources requires a comprehensive shift in societal thinking to halt biodiversity loss.
The strategy also outlines Finland's measures to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in other parts of the world, particularly in developing countries. The Commission will now develop an implementation plan for the strategy, identifying key stakeholders and effective measures. The strategy will also be presented to political parties to support the development of their election programs and ensure its implementation across government terms.
Overall, the strategy emphasizes the importance of systemic change to address sustainability challenges and calls for a collective effort from Finnish society to create a future worth striving for. The Commission Secretary General, Sami Pirkkala, highlights the need to build faith in our ability to shape the future.
