Finland President of the Republic representing the Glasgow Climate Summit Sauli Niinistö praised the spirit of the meeting on Monday night. The atmosphere is reportedly now more understanding and deeper.

“I think the spirit here is very different from the previous ones – in Paris and in connection with the Polish COP – and that spirit is very serious,” Niinistö told Finnish journalists.

Presidential it is estimated that the serious attitude is “quite generally shared here”.

Heads of State will meet in Glasgow on Monday and Tuesday for their own summit and give country-specific speeches. Detailed negotiations will then begin.

“Then let’s see where they lead. I think it’s a good thing that there seems to be spirit and will. There are also difficulties. ”

One of the biggest problems is the financing of the fight against climate change. More than a decade ago, rich countries pledged $ 100 billion a year (€ 86 billion) in climate aid by 2020. The goal is likely to be met in a couple of years.

Climate summit such an event gives the heads of state an opportunity to address other issues as well.

“Many are interested in my visit to Russia, and I, for my part, try hard to market forest thinking that is worth coming to Finland to learn.”

President of Russia Vladimir Putin does not attend the Glasgow meeting, nor did he attend the previous G20 meeting. Putin did not present any particular reason or message through Niinistö.

From the visit to Russia, Niinistö was left with the image that “there is great caution in covidia [koronaviruspandemiaa] concerning ’.

About the Finn Niinistö says that he is happy to tell others about forest management and “forest ability”.

According to the President, Finns can show that the growth of forests in Finland has doubled in the last 50–60 years, and at the same time Finland has used the forest economically.

“So that equation is not impossible.”

Niinistö had a brief exchange of news with the British prime minister in Glasgow on Monday Boris Johnson and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Liz Trussin with. Common interests include security in particular.

“Certainly here, as well as in the North, it is known that the region of Northern Europe is of interest to very many.”

Putin in addition, the leaders of China, Brazil and Turkey did not come to Glasgow. However, the countries have other representatives and special envoys at the venue. According to Niinistö, the most important thing is the content of country-specific promises and commitments.

However, the face-to-face meeting has its value, although many have criticized the giant meetings.

“If we thought that this was being tried through correspondence, then the post office would have been involved in it many times.”

On Monday, President Sauli Niinistö spoke at a UN climate summit in Glasgow with, for example, French President Emmanuel Macron.

Niinistö himself woke up to the climate crisis in 2005 Sir Nicholas Sternin thanks to the report.

Now Stern is confident that the corporate sector will be involved in the fight against the climate crisis for commercial reasons. That, in turn, puts pressure on policy makers.
