A Natural Resource Strategy for Finland

Strategy now available

We are today living in a transitional period, when resources and knowledge need to be combined in new ways to improve controls over natural resource use. It is important to be able to create wealth and well-being globally in more sustainable ways. New models are needed for business, policy-making and everyday socio-economic behaviour.

As a country that is relatively rich in natural resources and blessed with high levels of know-how, Finland has particular strengths and interests in the context of promoting the sustainable and innovative use of natural resources. The wealth we can obtain from natural resources obliges us to use them intelligently.

Using Natural Resources Intelligently – A Natural Resource Strategy for Finland promotes both sustainable development and competitive businesses. It looks at Finland as part of the global community. It brings together the worlds and perspectives of politics, government, business, research, NGOs and the media to collaborate on setting common goals on issues pertaining to all natural resources.

The strategy was submitted to Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen and published on April 8, 2009.
