The Climate and Energy Programme implements the climate targets set out in the European Un- ion and Finland. Visions and targets presented in the programme aim far beyond the target year of 2020. The programme was made in cooperation with all of the actors in the region and it sets a common vision of the desired future. The Regional Council of North Ka- relia acted as the programme coordinator. The strengths of North Karelia are its rich natural resources and diverse expertise in the bioenergy and forestry research sectors. In terms of energy self-sufficiency and the share of renewable energy, North Karelia already exceeds the EU and national climate targets. Climate change and the challenges it poses are seen as a possibility for the North Karelia region to develop innovations and new business opportunities. The programme focuses on the sectors of energy production and consumption, trans- port, community structure and land use planning, construction, waste management, agriculture and forestry. Climate targets for Finland after the Kyoto Protocol The European Union climate targets and the Finnish national targets by 2020: • Greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by at least 20% from the 1990 level and by 30% if other industrialised countries adopt similar targets. • The non-ETS sector emissions in Finland will be reduced by 16% from the 2005 level. • The share of renewable energy in the EU will reach 20% and 38% in Finland. • Energy efficiency will be increased on average by 20% compared with the base line. • The share of renewable energy in transport will be increased to 10%. Climate and Energy Programme of North Karelia 2020 Summary 5 2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions in North Karelia Greenhouse gas emissions in North Karelia from the energy, transport, agricul- ture and waste sectors amounted to 1.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq.) in 2007. Emissions per sector are presented in the diagram below. Waste management 4 % Agriculture 15 % Energy production and consumption 45 % Transport 36 % Picture 1. Greenhouse gas emissions per sector in North Karelia 2007. Emissions from the energy and transport sectors correspond to more than 80% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in North Karelia. Decisions made in these sec- tors are crucial to achieving emission reductions in the region. The future availabil- ity and price of wood and plant-based fuels and the status of peat in electricity and heat production will determine the level of greenhouse gas emissions in the region in the future. 6 Locally – Renewably – Efficiently The strength of the regional economy can be supported by decentralised energy production based on renewable energy sources. This also assures the energy sup- ply. Above all, locally produced energy is not so strongly tied to business cycles.

The corresponding figure for Finland was 14.8 tonnes. • The share of renewable energy from the total energy use of the region is about 63%, of which the share of wood energy is 82%. • Employment in the renewable energy cluster was about 1,100 persons (full- time equivalent) in 2008 and turnover was about 120 million euros. The growth in both employment and turnover was about 30% from 2004. • Research, development and educational institutions invest about 5 million euros per year in renewable energy. • In 2011 there was roughly 30 regional, national or international ongoing renew- able energy-related projects in the region. Climate and Energy Programme of North Karelia 2020 Summary 7 8 Locally – Renewably – Efficiently 3 Vision of an Oil-free Region The starting point of the climate and energy programme of North Karelia is to strength- en the existing resources in the area and to make full use of the potential the re- gion has to offer. An oil-free North Karelia • Is a carbon neutral and over self-sufficient region in renewable energy produc- tion where fossil oil is not used in energy production. • Takes advantage and develops the possibilities of bioeconomy and is an inter- national actor in the climate and energy sector. • Is known for sustainable development solutions that enhance the well-being of people and the environment where municipalities, communities, companies and residents are aware of the climate change and mitigation actions and who are conscious of their responsibilities and possibilities in terms of climate issues. How does the vision become reality? • The share of renewable energy is increased and diversified and energy effi- ciency is enhanced. • In North Karelia, greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by more than the EU’s target of 20% by 2020. • Cooperation between private and public sector organisations is increased and climate change is taken into account in all planning and decision-making. • Export activities for technology and services are strengthened. • Municipalities are aware of the current state of their greenhouse gas emissions and the major emission sources, and have determined their own climate targets and measures accordingly. • The use of natural resources in North Karelia is sustainable and the biodiversity values of forests and agricultural environments are taken into account. The implementation of the climate and energy programme requires long-term and resolute cooperation. In addition to the Regional Council, national and local author- ities, education and research organisations, regional development companies and businesses will implement the climate and energy programme, each within their own jurisdiction. Climate and Energy Programme of North Karelia 2020 Summary 9 4 Energy Production and Consumption Energy consumption in North Karelia (including heating, electricity and transport) has been a little over 10 TWh in recent years. The share of renewable energy of the total consumption is high, about 63%. About 75% of thermal energy and electricity is produced by renewable energy sources. The renewable energy sources in use in North Karelia are bioenergy (84%), hydropower (15%) and others (1%). Bioenergy consists almost entirely of wood energy, industrial by-products and forest energy. Oil is, in practice, the only fossil fuel in use in the region. The use of peat has been around 700 GWh or 8% in recent years. Fossil fuels (transport) 16,7 % Heating fossi oil 7,4% Wood energy 49,2 % (Black liquor 48% Other industrial by-products 26% Wood chips 11% Firewood 14% Import of electricity Pellets 1%) 8,9 % Peat 6,9 % Waste 0,1 % Heat pumps 1,3 % Hydropower Other bioenergy 9,3 % 0,3 % Picture 2. End use of energy in 2008. In the near future, the increase of production, consumption and export of renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency and consumer advice on energy will be high- lighted in North Karelia. 10 Locally – Renewably – Efficiently Table 1.

    heritage and identity in NORTH KARELIA – FINLAND Diënne van der Burg University of Groningen/ University of Joensuu Faculty of Spatial Sciences/ Department of Geography April 2005 Heritage and Identity in North Karelia - Finland Diënne van der Burg Student number 1073176 Master’s thesis Cultural Geography April 2005 University of Groningen/ Faculty of Spatial Sciences/ Dr. P. D. Groote University of Joensuu/ Department of Geography/ Senior Assistant Professor Minna Piipponen Heritage and Identity in North Karelia 2 Abstract The region of North Karelia can be identified in different ways. Identity can be seen as the link between people, heritage and place. People want to identify themselves with a place, because for them that place has a special character. Many features distinguish places from each other and heritage is one of these features that contribute to the identity of a place and to the identification of individuals and groups within that specific place. Therefore heritage is an important contributor when people identify themselves with a place. Nowadays the interest in heritage and identity is strong in the context of processes of globalisation. Globalisation has resulted in openness and heterogeneousness in terms of place and culture. More and more, identities are being questioned and globalisation has caused nationalism and regionalism in which heritage is used to justify the construction of identities. Karelia North Karelia can be seen as part of Karelia as a whole. Karelia is situated partly in Finland and partly in Russia and that makes it a border area. Karelia is a social-cultural constructed area with no official boundaries. The shape, size and its inhabitants changed many times during the centuries.

It is a worldwide leading forest certification scheme. The aim of this study is to analyze the Finnish National Standard of PEFC certification and identify the indicators that can be reliably estimated with remote sensing (RS) techniques. The retrieved data are further verified with a chosen geographical information system (GIS) application. The rapid increase in certified areas globally has created a certain level of mistrust that makes the evaluation by certification bodies (CB) questionable.
