The impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly evident around the world. No country can ignore the challenges posed by climate change. Today, I delivered Finland’s national statement at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye. In my statement, I highlighted three key messages: 1. We cannot solve the climate crisis without multilateralism. 2. Our actions must be based on science and innovation. 3. Climate action also strengthens competitiveness and economic resilience.
