GREEN TO SCALE

Scaling up existing low-carbon solutions can go a long way towards closing the emissions gap.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

The Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra has teamed up with the Nordic Council of Ministers, distinguished research institutions and think tanks to answer a simple question: how far could we go simply by scaling up already proven low-carbon solutions?

Since 2015, the Green to Scale project analyses how existing solutions from sectors such as energy, mobility and transportation, buildings and waste, have uncovered a vast emission reduction potential both globally and in specific countries.

Implementing existing low-carbon solutions can take us a long way in tackling the global climate crisis.
