Lahti aims for climate neutrality by 2025 and has already cut its CO2 emissions by 70% from 1990 level.

Lahti combines the best of both worlds: a magnificent lake scenery, diverse nature and originality of a small town, yet the circular economy models, energy solutions and cleantech business opportunities of a major city. Lahti it is the Gateway to the Finnish Lakeland – the largest in Europe. Where in the world can you swim in a lake that is less than one kilometer from a city hall and market square and the water is basically pure enough to drink?
