National Communications and Biennial Reports to the Climate Convention

Parties to the UNFCCC must submit periodic national reports on the steps they are taking to implement the Convention. National Communications that are submitted every 4 years contain the information elements as required by the Convention and include additional information related to the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol. Finland's eight national communication was submitted to the secretariat of the UNFCC in December 2022.

Biennial Report contains information on the quantified economy-wide emission reduction targets and the progress in achieving the targets, mitigation measures and emission projections as well as on support given to the developing countries.

The reports are complied as a collaboration between ministries, Statistics Finland, research institutes and other expert organisations.
