Kestävä rahoitus, EU:n taksonomia-asetus ja komission toimivalta: Metsätalouden kestävyyskriteerit myrskyn silmässä

Suvi-Tuuli Puharinen, Otto Bruun, Päivi Leino-Sandberg, Kati Kulovesi ja Antti Belinskij Suomessa on viime kuukausina käyty kiivastakin keskustelua EU:n taksonomia-asetuksen puitteissa valmisteilla olevista metsätalouden kestävyyskriteereistä. Keskustelussa on väitetty esimerkiksi, että EU ylittää toimivaltansa antamalla metsätaloutta koskevaa sääntelyä ja että taksonomia-asetus merkittävästi heikentää suomalaisten metsänomistajien asemaa. Tarkoituksenamme on selventää oikeustieteilijöiden näkökulmasta taksonomia-asetuksen tavoitteita sekä siihen liittyvien kestävyyskriteereiden […]

Mennäänkö metsään? Metsillä on haastava rooli EU:n ja Suomen ilmastotaistelussa

Dr. Seita Romppanen, yliopistonlehtori, kv-ympäristöoikeus. Julkaistu alun perin 2035Legitimacy-blogissa. EU:n Fit for 55 -lainsäädäntöpaketissa ehdotetut uudistukset kytkisivät metsät ja metsien tulevan käytön nykyistä selkeämmin osaksi kokonaisvaltaisia ilmastotoimia. Metsäsektorin rooli ilmastotavoitteiden saavuttamisessa on korvaamaton, mutta sektorin säätäminen yhä keskeisemmäksi osaksi ilmastopolitiikkaa on haastavaa. Uudistuksien tarkoituksena on ohjata kohti aiempaa tiukempia ilmastotoimia metsissä ja vahvistaa metsäsektorin osallistumista […]
