Environment arkistot - Luonnonvarakeskus

• The objective is to expand the methods for protecting the Baltic Sea and to reduce phosphorus and nitrogen loads through quick and cost-effective measures. • New emissions reduction measures and voluntary emissions trade will be piloted and flexible mechanisms to steer environmental policies will be looked into. • These will be carried out by the John Nurminen Foundation, the University of Helsinki, Natural Resources Institute Finland, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Enveco Environmental Economics Consultancy. • The three-year project has a total budget of EUR 2.1 million. • The majority of the funding is provided by EU's Interreg Central Baltic Programme, John Nurminen Foundation and the Regional Council of Southwest Finland. • NutriTrade is the flagship project of EU's Baltic Sea strategy, http://nutritradebaltic.eu/
