Municipal elections and council elections for welfare areas responsible for health and social services will be held in Finland next Sunday. Early voting was from April 2nd to April 8th.
Some Climate Grandparents went to the party election tents to discuss with the candidates about environment and climate issues. Grandparents were wearing yellow vests with the text “Grandparents demand climate action”. They handed over bulletins explaining the climate grandparents’ proposals on how municipal councilors can influence environmental and climate issues. Our activities are already widely known and have received recognition and praise.
Many candidates from different parties had good suggestions of their own for influencing environmental and climate issues if elected. There were also discussions about traffic emissions in central Helsinki. Not all candidates agreed on the idea of a car-free Helsinki city center
