Plans to increase logging in Finnish forests will have dire impacts on the climate; yet the Finnish government is ignoring evidence and denigrating scientists.
Meanwhile, as a critical EU decision looms on how to count emissions from forests,
the Finns are frantically lobbying to make them as weak as possible.
Finland is at the heart of a dispute which will have profound implications for EU Member States’ attempts to reduce their carbon emissions.
Over the past two years it has expended vast political capital lobbying the EU to weaken its rules on how members account for
emissions from forests and land.
Finland's government has attempted to discredit scientists who criticised its increased logging programme, writes Hanna Aho from NGO Fern

Environmental Issues of Finland
Finland has a long history of logging and the industry has had a significant negative effect on the native forest ecosystem.
According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), approximately 700 forest species in Finland are classified as endangered due to logging. The WWF has said the country’s insufficiently small nature reserves and lack of old trees exacerbates this problem.
In addition to affecting forest biodiversity, the Finnish logging industry has played a part in contaminating rivers and groundwater, with fertilizers from the agriculture industry also adding to this pollution.

With a quarter of its territory in the Arctic, Finland is a country in Northern Europe largely defined by its long and cold winters.
