Julia 2030 is a 3-year project aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Helsinki region, by raising awareness about climate change and possibilities, both to mitigate it, and to adapt to its consequences.

Tools for calculating carbondioxide emissions are developed in the course of this project. With these tools the municipalities, companies and households can effectively diminish their carbon footprint.


The Julia2030 project is co-funded by the EU Life+ Environment programme, and is coordinated by HSY's Regional Information.
