The Climate and Energy Programme implements the climate targets set out in the European Union and Finland. Visionsandtargetspresentedintheprogrammeaimfarbeyondthetargetyearof 2020. The programme was made in cooperation with all of the actors in the region and it sets a common vision of the desired future. The Regional Council of North Karelia acted as the programme coordinator. The strengths of North Karelia are its rich natural resources and diverse expertise in thebioenergyandforestryresearchsectors.Intermsofenergyself-sufficiencyand the share of renewable energy, North Karelia already exceeds the EU and national climate targets. Climate change and the challenges it poses are seen as a possibility for the North Karelia region to develop innovations and new business opportunities. The programme focuses on the sectors of energy production and consumption, transport, community structure and land use planning, construction, waste management, agriculture and forestry. Climate targets for Finland after the Kyoto Protocol The European Union climate targets and the Finnish national targets by 2020: • Greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by at least 20% from the 1990 level and by 30% if other industrialised countries adopt similar targets. • The non-ETS sector emissions in Finland will be reduced by 16% from the 2005 level. • The share of renewable energy in the EU will reach 20% and 38% in Finland. • Energyefficiencywillbeincreasedonaverageby20%comparedwiththebase line. • The share of renewable energy in transport will be increased to 10%. Climate and Energy Programme of North Karelia 2020 Summary 5 2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions in North Karelia Greenhouse gas emissions in North Karelia from the energy, transport, agriculture and waste sectors amounted to 1.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq.) in 2007. Emissions per sector are presented in the diagram below. Waste management 4% Agriculture 15 % Energy production and consumption 45 % Transport 36 % Picture 1. Greenhouse gas emissions per sector in North Karelia 2007. Emissions from the energy and transport sectors correspond to more than 80% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in North Karelia. Decisions made in these sectors are crucial to achieving emission reductions in the region. The future availability and price of wood and plant-based fuels and the status of peat in electricity and heat production will determine the level of greenhouse gas emissions in the region in the future. 6 Locally – Renewably – Efficiently The strength of the regional economy can be supported by decentralised energy production based on renewable energy sources. This also assures the energy supply. Above all, locally produced energy is not so strongly tied to business cycles. Greenhouse gas emissions in North Karelia (tonnes of CO2-eq.)

About 84% of the total land area of the region is covered in forest, of which onethird is swamp. Total emissions decreased by almost 7% between 1990 and 2007. Greenhouse gas emissions in North Karelia totalled 9.4 tonnes of CO2-eq. per personin2007.ThecorrespondingfigureforFinlandwas14.8tonnes. The share of renewable energy from the total energy use of the region is about 63%, of which the share of wood energy is 82%. Employment in the renewable energy cluster was about 1,100 persons (fulltime equivalent) in 2008 and turnover was about 120 million euros. The growth in both employment and turnover was about 30% from 2004. Research, development and educational institutions invest about 5 million euros per year in renewable energy. In 2011 there was roughly 30 regional, national or international ongoing renewable energy-related projects in the region. Climate and Energy Programme of North Karelia 2020 Summary 7 8 Locally – Renewably – Efficiently 3 Vision of an Oil-free Region The starting point of the climate and energy programme of North Karelia is to strengthen the existing resources in the area and to make full use of the potential the region has to offer. An oil-free North Karelia • Isacarbonneutralandoverself-sufficientregioninrenewableenergyproduction where fossil oil is not used in energy production. • Takes advantage and develops the possibilities of bioeconomy and is an international actor in the climate and energy sector. • Is known for sustainable development solutions that enhance the well-being of people and the environment where municipalities, communities, companies and residents are aware of the climate change and mitigation actions and who are conscious of their responsibilities and possibilities in terms of climate issues. How does the vision become reality? • Theshareofrenewableenergyisincreasedanddiversifiedandenergyefficiency is enhanced. • In North Karelia, greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by more than the EU’s target of 20% by 2020. • Cooperation between private and public sector organisations is increased and climate change is taken into account in all planning and decision-making. • Export activities for technology and services are strengthened. • Municipalities are aware of the current state of their greenhouse gas emissions and the major emission sources, and have determined their own climate targets and measures accordingly. • The use of natural resources in North Karelia is sustainable and the biodiversity values of forests and agricultural environments are taken into account. The implementation of the climate and energy programme requires long-term and resolute cooperation. In addition to the Regional Council, national and local authorities, education and research organisations, regional development companies and businesses will implement the climate and energy programme, each within their own jurisdiction. Climate and Energy Programme of North Karelia 2020 Summary 9 4 Energy Production and Consumption Energy consumption in North Karelia (including heating, electricity and transport) has been a little over 10 TWh in recent years. The share of renewable energy of the total consumption is high, about 63%. About 75% of thermal energy and electricity is produced by renewable energy sources. The renewable energy sources in use in North Karelia are bioenergy (84%), hydropower (15%) and others (1%). Bioenergy consists almost entirely of wood energy, industrial by-products and forest energy. Oil is, in practice, the only fossil fuel in use in the region. The use of peat has been around 700 GWh or 8% in recent years. Fossil fuels (transport) 16,7 % Heating fossi oil 7,4% Wood energy 49,2 % (Black liquor 48% Other industrial by-products 26% Wood chips 11% Firewood 14% Pellets 1%) Import of electricity 8,9 % Peat 6,9 % Waste 0,1 % Heat pumps 1,3 % Picture 2.

Climate and Energy Programme of North Karelia 2020 Summary 13 5 Transport In North Karelia, the movement of people is mostly based on the use of a car. This is because about a third of the population lives in sparsely populated areas. The emissions from transport account for almost 40% of the total emissions. Road transport accounts for about 90% of all emissions from the transport sector. Influencingtheamountofemissionsfromvehicles,andreducingthetransportdemand can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport. The age of the car stock, vehicle technology, fuels in use and driving methods affect the emissions from road transport. The development of community infrastructure and service network has an impactontransportdemand.Themostimportantindirectmeanstoinfluenceboth the length of the trips and the means of transport are the development of the community infrastructure and the placement of different functions. In a climate-friendly society, the focus has shifted from cars to other transport modes that emit less: walking, cycling and public transport. Cargo transport logistics can be improved by organising the transport of goods in a new way. With the development of fuels, the transport of goods must also start using low emission fuels when the availability and distribution networks improve. Transport Sector Targets for 2020 • • • • • Light transportation and public transport are a functioning and attractive alternative to private cars. Biogas and other locally-produced energy sources for transport are being increasingly used. Rail transport in the region is functioning and user-friendly. Cargotransportlogisticsisefficientandtransferredtorailandwatertransport routes where appropriate. Telecommuting and car pools are popular; electronic means of communication are used effectively. Measures for the Transport Sector • • • • • 14 Integrated pedestrian and cycle paths are increased and improved, and their maintenance is improved. Bicycle parking spaces are increased and equipment in them and at public transportstops/stationsareimproved. Transport system planning and land use planning are connected to each other. Cooperation between the authorities in terms of public transport organisation and planning is improved. Tickets are made more attractive and services are actively communicated. Locally – Renewably – Efficiently • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Demand responsive transport services are improved and their supply areas are expanded. It is ensured that public support for public transport is targeted at the needs of medium-sized towns and rural areas. The accessibility of shopping centres with functioning public transport and pedestrian and cycle connections is ensured. The introduction of alternative fuels is supported. The distribution network is increased. Biogas from waste treatment plants is utilised as transport fuel. Municipalities and other public entities take alternative transport energy sources into use as soon as possible. Possibilitiesforusingbiogasinnon-electrifiedrailtransportisinvestigated. Long-distance services and travel times are improved, in particular in the rail connection between Joensuu and Helsinki. A rail connection is developed on the Joensuu – Lieksa – Nurmes – Kontiomäki – Oulu route. The possibility of a rail connection between Joensuu and Kuopio is investigated. ThepossibilityofrailtrafficforJoensuucommutertrafficisinvestigated. Thesupplyofgoodsanddistributiontrafficintheperipheryareenhanced. Cooperation in the sector is improved and the possibilities for cooperation between actors is explored. The utilisation of year-round waterway transportation for bioenergy, recycled materials and aggregates is increased. Broadband access in sparsely populated areas is improved. The use of telecommuting is supported. Carpooling is supported. Videoconferencingtechnologyisutilisedintheworkplace. Climate and Energy Programme of North Karelia 2020 Summary 15 6 Community Structure and Land Use Planning Community structure planning and implementation decisions have an impact far into the future, and the decisions made also have an effect on greenhouse gas emissions. Land use planning creates the preconditions for adapting to future changes. The means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions create a community structure in many respects that are appreciated by residents: good local services, functioning public transport and energy solutions, good possibilities for cycling and walking and recreation sites near residential areas. In North Karelia, the need to make the community structure more cohesive applies to the surrounding areas of Joensuu, which comprises a 10-20 km zone around the city centre. In the Joensuu region, the challenges are preventing increased car dependency, increasing the integration of the community infrastructure, the status of public transport and enhancing the services and lines offered by public transport. In sparsely populated rural areas, the maintenance and preservation of services is highlighted. In rural areas, the enhancement of service availability and environmental aspects can be realised by innovative methods such as online services, services via videophone access and joint services. Community Structure and Land Use Planning Targets for 2020 • • • The community structure is functioning and economical. Cooperationbetweenmunicipalofficialsandmunicipalitiesisfunctioningand frequent. Villagesoutsidethegrowingurbanareasarevital. Measures for Community Structure and Land Use Planning • • • • • • • 16 The needs for transport and housing together with energy solutions are combined with strategic local master plans. In new land use plans, housing, jobs and services are positioned rationally in relation to each other. New construction builders are directed to a joint thermal network that uses renewable energy sources. Municipalities actively acquire land for construction using all the statutory means available, including the right of pre-emption, construction commencement orders and land-policy based redemption. Strategic activities in areas that already have local detailed plans are launched by municipalities to make the areas more cohesive. Thesupplyforlocaldetailplannedplotsisincreasedanddiversified. Sufficientgreenspacesandrecreationalareasareensuredinplannedareas. Locally – Renewably – Efficiently • • • • • • • • The permission policy of unplanned areas near growing urban areas is standardised and tightened. Thecommunicationbetweenofficialsresponsibleforlanduseplanningand transport system planning is made more frequent. Cooperation between municipalities in land use planning is enhanced. Regional mobility and service needs are taken into account in master planning. Component master plans for villages are initiated and developed. Local village services are strengthened. Water and sewage pipe networks are developed in village centres. The preservation and development of local services is made possible. Climate and Energy Programme of North Karelia 2020 Summary 17 7 Construction Abuilding’ssize,heatingsystem,insulationandenergyefficiencyaffectthegreenhouse gas emissions of the building during its use. The choices made in the constructionphasecansignificantlyaffectthebuilding’sgreenhousegasemissionsthroughoutthelifeofthebuilding.Themostsignificantenvironmentalimpactsfromhousing are caused by consumption of heat, water and electricity. In the future, the relative proportion of manufacturing building materials, construction and demolition will increase in terms of greenhouse gas emissions because of the transition to more energyefficientstructuresduringconstruction. Inclimate-friendlyconstructionandrenovation,theenergyefficiencyofabuildingis ensured, the share of re-newable energy in the energy supply is increased, the usage of renewable and low-energy building materials is promoted and passive solar energy is exploited. Climate-friendly construction favours wood because wooden structures are less energy intensive than, for example, steel and concrete. Carbon sequestrated to wood is also kept away from the atmosphere until the product burns or decays. Low and zero-energy construction and renovation require new skills and management of the entire process from planners, contractors and people responsible for property maintenance. Construction Targets for 2020 • • • • Buildingsaremoreenergyefficientandtheefficiencyofuseisgood. North Karelia is the leading region in wood construction. Renewable energy is used as the principal heating source in buildings. Regional energy advice is active and professional. Measures for Construction • • • • • • • • 18 In construction and renovation, attention is paid to insulation, controlled ventilation, the recovery of heat, the utilization of passive solar energy and ventilation and other ecologically sustainable solutions. Water circulation heating is preferred. Newhousesarebuilttobeasenergyefficientaspossible. Oldbuildingsareutilisedasefficientlyaspossible. Thefacilitiesofthepublicsectorareusedmoreefficiently. Training in wood construction is organised for construction professionals, and local builders’ interest in wood construction is increased. Building wooden apartment buildings is established as a normal practice in construction. In local detail plans the construction of wooden apartment buildings is made possible. Locally – Renewably – Efficiently • • • • • • • Information is given on alternative heating solutions based on renewable energy sources. Theuseofrenewableenergyinhouse-specificenergysolutionsissupported. Local building codes are reviewed to remove the barriers for the installation of solar collectors, solar panels and wind turbines. The awareness on the potential uses of passive solar energy is raised. Centralised heating systems that use renewable energy are favoured in new residential areas. An energy advice project aimed at construction and renovation is carried out. A model for construction and energy advice is established in the region. Climate and Energy Programme of North Karelia 2020 Summary 19 8 Waste Management A waste plan has been prepared for the region of Eastern Finland and it describes the targets for waste management in 2016. The goal is that the amount of waste placedinlandfillisreducedsignificantly,andenergyfromcombustiblematerialthat is not suitable for reuse as material can be recycled as energy. This energy can be used to replace energy produced by fossil fuels. In addition, the majority of biowaste and sludge is treated in biogas plants and, depending on the region, used in energyproductionandrefinedfortransportuse. Preventing waste generation is one of the most important ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from waste. Reducing consumption and using materials and energy moreefficientlyintheproductionphasepreventthecreationofwaste.Clearinstructions for maintenance, manuals, different rental services together with maintenance and repair services in city centres can also reduce waste generation. Diminishingtheamountofbiodegradablewastegoingintolandfillandincreasing thecaptureofmethaneproducedinthelandfillscanreducegreenhousegasemissions from waste management.

The collection of sorted waste is realised in all schools. Waste generation is prevented in procurement. Bestpracticesforpreventingofficewastegenerationaretakenintouse. Locally – Renewably – Efficiently • • • • • • • • Waste monitoring is developed within the framework of corporate environmental programmes. Up-to-date information on the prevention of waste generation and the increase ofmaterialefficiencyisdevelopedandproducedtoconsumersandeducational institutions. Cooperation with regional and national stakeholders is developed (e.g. the Martha organisation, educational institutions and waste management companies). Waste management is integrated as a part of the teaching programmes of schools and day care centres. Environmental passport education is developed to be a part of adult education Wastemanagementservicesarediversified;forexampleaserviceforemptying composts is developed. Information is offered to municipalities and companies on how to take waste management issues into account in procurement. The burning of waste unsuitable for recycling alongside other fuels is promoted. Climate and Energy Programme of North Karelia 2020 Summary 21 9 Forestry In North Karelia, the annual growth of forests is much greater than the annual forest removals. The overall growth has risen in the 21st century to 8.3 million cubic metres per year. Annual commercial loggings have varied from 4.2 to 5.4 million cubic metres.Significantlylowerloggingscomparedtogrowthratesmakeitpossibleto increase the use of forests in wood processing and energy production without compromising the sustainability of wood production. The maximum sustainable harvesting comprises about 7.8 million cubic metres per year. Themostsignificantimpactsofclimatechangetoforestsaretheincreaseofgrowth, the rising of tree line, changes in the tree species composition and the northward movement of southern tree species. The most serious threats to the growth of forests arecausedbyextremeweather.Droughts,forestfires,andtheincreaseofstormand snow damage possibly also result in an increase in insect damage and fungal diseases. The changes in growth rhythm are believed to expose trees to frost damage. The forests of North Karelia are a large carbon sink and the role of forests in the carbon balance of the region is important. Maintaining the current forest area is crucial for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the region. Trees in North Karelia sequester 57.4 million tonnes of carbon, equal to 211 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. Better forest management can increase the number of trees and the amount of carbon sequestered in tree biomass. This can add to the carbon sink, as more carbon is sequestrated in trees and wood products. Climate Change Mitigation Targets for Forestry for 2020 • • • 22 Forests as carbon sinks – with good forest management the growth of forests, wood stock and options for utilising wood are enhanced. Forests as a source of energy – the share of renewable energy from total energy production and use is growing rapidly, and export will increase. The detrimental extreme events caused by climate change can be prepared for. Locally – Renewably – Efficiently Measures for Forestry • • • • • • • • The preservation of forest area is taken care of. The growth of trees is increased by silvicultural measures both locally and regionally. Carbon is stored into wood products. Fossil fuels are replaced by wood energy. Biodiversity is maintained – diversity in trees and undergrowth improve the adaptability of forest ecosystems. Forests are maintained in a way that they are in good condition for growth – forests in good condition and with more than one tree species are resistant to different risks. Contingency plans are drafted to prepare for large-scale disasters (for example measures to prevent the spread of destruction and harvesting needed). Thinning and felling dates are adapted to the improvement of tree growth.

Horticulture, especially berry farming and vegetable production, has long traditions. Due to the strong position of milk production in the region, the focus offieldcultivationisingrasscultivation.In2009therewasabout86000hectaresof arable land in North Karelia and the number of farms was around 2600. There were approximately 300 organic farms in the region. Greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture mainly come from the soil as a product of cultivation and tillage, farm animals and their manure, energy consumption in machinery and heating and the use of fertilizers. The most important greenhouse gases from agriculture are methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), both released from manure. In the future, greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture can be expected to reduce becauseofmoreefficientenvironmentprotectionmeasures.Agriculturalpolicycan supportnewtechnologiesandfarmingmethodsandthediversificationofagriculture and thus affect the greenhouse gas emissions of farming in the future.

A regional model for energy farms is created. The drawing up of cultivation plans is developed to take climate and environmental issues into consideration. Thefinancingoptionsofenergyplansforfarmsandbiogasplantsareutilised. The use of renewable energy sources is increased. Local and organic food use is increased and developed. The production and processing of local and organic food is increased and developed by developing the networking, collaboration, logistics and wholesale activities of small businesses. Farm waste recycling and reuse possibilities are enhanced. The collection of agricultural plastics is organised in urban areas. Developing advice services and raising the skills of agricultural advisors. Climate and Energy Programme of North Karelia 2020 Summary 25 11 Adaptation to Climate Change NOW Adapting to climate change requires changes in society as a whole. Individuals, communities and companies are involved in adaptation activities. At the same time, society has to change its structures to support the necessary changes. Finnish people’s concerns about climate change are shared but it does not necessarily lead to concrete actions to mitigate against climate change. Decision-makers have to commit to common goals and create an atmosphere that supports and encourages the stakeholders to develop positive climate attitudes and actions for the climate. All levels of decision-making should support climate-friendly actions. The key criterion is that in the long term the measures are also economically wise and will help to maintain and strengthen the vitality of the region. Upbringingandeducationplayanimportantroleandaresignificant,whentheaim is to raise awareness of climate change, climate change mitigation and adaptation to climate change among all citizens. Climate change gives a new emphasis to the sustainable use of natural resources and the management of the use of resources. The danger is that climate change will adverselyaffectthemanyecological,economicandsocialbenefitsthatbiodiversity provides to humanity.
