A Synthesis of Energy Transition Policies in Finland, China

Abstract

Since 2017 Finland and China have been developing a future-oriented partnership based on mutual economic and business interests. The starting point for this work is the recognition of significant differences in size, culture, and political as well as economic systems between the two sides. The Sino-Finnish cooperation in energy transition can provide a good example of mutually beneficial partnership where countries complement each other in terms of know-how and resources. This paper brings together the main findings from the policy study on energy transition in Finland and China. It aims to identify potential policy initiatives for expanding Sino-Finnish cooperation towards green growth.
