- Finland’s city Lahti was once a polluted industrial town, but over the past couple of decades it has transformed itself.
The city, which is home to approximately 120,000 people, was named Europe’s green capital three years ago.
So, what lessons can be learnt from its transformation?

Heavy industry has just about finished in Europe. It's made the air and the rivers a lot cleaner that's for sure. However that pollution has just been transported to the far East.
True! But once they get richer, they will also start caring more, I think. Actually, one of the most polluted cities was London for a long time.
Agreed 👍
Technically in Finland people should skate on outdoor temp made ice only.
❤❤
Heavy industrial Plant has moved from 'Western' to 'Asia' and.. Western said "Stop polluting"
Do you know that this is true for Finland as well?

Stand on scientific evidence not on political opinion!
Lahti has done an amazing job! Hyvä Suomi! 💪🏻🩵🌱🌍🇫🇮
Absolutely
'Finland city'? Do you mean 'Finnish'?
5 million people is basically a big city.
No wonder Lahti is called the Chicago of Finland. A modern masterpiece.
How long did it take to make Lahti fully carbon neutral? Asking for a friend
how's it possible to have carbon neutral icehockey hall in practitice? What it needs and how much it costs?
Lahti never dissapoints! I wonder how they measured the carbon emissions🤔
Amazing, love these people and their way of using waste for power 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Lahti is called Finlands Chicago. I guess they just bury corpses deeper.
Techically wooden benches from old wood should be in that skating arena I see plastic or at least use only solar heater to remold plastics into new molds when allowed or electric fans from air flow to make the electricity and any other tech that to be used for a very long time to offset the scale on energy used and rotated into making stuff in very extremely strict rules more fit for today's times for future. Less energy in to production is better in equation if its long stretched over not made for production profits to be broken to make profits from that has to be of the table as strictest rule of all and equations in energy consumption will change for the better with emmiting and areas consumption and so on in equations of it all that are still waaaaay to loose and profits get taken cause it's programmed thee days open markets and stuff traded contracted need to be shifted and be over halted restructured strict rules and profits need to be shifted for most important things only and schooling highest to achieve new era of less production but really more important things and longer better technologies to bring fun back on another level most are unaware of cause they are programmed to function like they are allowed and more but now we know and we know how to handle it and would be better for everyone and still have fun for real real not fake real like these e days. Gist only but you get the big huge picture of it all.
Taylor Swift traveled 25,000 miles in her private jet last year. Each hour in her plane produces more emissions than 100 families in a year.
She also carbon credited those flights and double, a lot more than other billionaires do
She's a Democrat, so the BBC considers her polution to be "good polution."
Very cool!!!❤🎉
BBC intern forgot proper English?
They clearly didn't Finnish their degree
It's either "Finnish city" or "City in Finland".
You wouldn't say "How this England city" or "How this Colombia city" or whatever. Come on.
Just for the record, it’s perfectly grammatically-correct to say ‘how this Finland city…’ Cope.👍
Try again. You could say "English City" or "Colombian City" and that would be fine.
@JohnAnders-no4vg But u r.
Technically with 5 mill population, whole Finland is a city.
Admirable, but unless the rest of the world's major polluters follow suit, ultimately a futile exercise.
Poorer countries first want to get richer and lift their people out of poverty (no matter the environmental cost), then they will care, too. Actually, they are already caring (for example India is definitely making some changes in this regard), I'm just saying they will care more once they deal with issues which are more important to them.
what a great city this Lahti is I wonder why its called the drug city of finland
It’s impossible to be carbon neutral. Everything on the planet is made of carbon?
I refuse to believe your comment was sincere.
Do you know what carbon neutral means?
Carbon neutral.. does that mean getting rid of the people??
@@hollytalbot6695 No that would reduce methane.

Good job lahti
And meanwhile, Australia, China, the US, India and so many others say: thanks Europe, keep using those paper straws!
They will have to change eventually. And who are they going to come for help?
@@einienj3281 EU only help is Russia. Uncle Sam will otherwise dry EU out.
🎉
Shouldn't it be, 'how this Finnish city...' or 'how this city in Finland...'?
Finland is basically just a city with 5 mill population.
Lahti is the drug city of Finland lmao
It looks like Lahti will have a whiter future, not a greener one. If I would live there, I prefer a milder climate than it has now.
You do know climate change will just give us more snow as well?
Umm... We are used to our cold climate. We would love a colder climate, not this heating up. I can't stand 30°C summers.
I don't like 30° heat either. My favourite temperatures are 21-24°C. I live in Canada.
👏👏👏👌✌️
Earth's climate has been changing since it first formed an atmosphere.
One erupting super-volcano (e.g. Yellowstone) will make any climate change caused by human activity look trivial. The same goes for any asteroid or comet impact.
You butcher our names and we butcher your language, now that's a deal!

Carbon regulates the world temps. Carbon is food for Trees and plants. Want to go back to the Ice ages, go ahead!
Brainrot commenter
Half truth. Sure CO2 is "plant food", but there is a threshold of the amount plants absorb CO2.
@@Redzwan No proof the world has surpassed the C02 threshold either! Problem with the world, the mass destruction WARS cause, Dams causing droughts one end and floods at the other, fast food joints, plastic bottles, turning rainforests into cities or using rainforest trees to make tissue to wipe our asses with and causing human suffering when you pretend to care about the environment but clearly don't.
Wow ... 🤦🏻♀️

Complete waste of time….wont make an ounce of difference to anything.
If nothing, you are making the air cleaner. Even if you don't believe in climate change air pollution is a real problem in the world killing millions of people every year, causing respiratory conditions and decreasing the quality of live. Even cleaning up the air locally IS a big difference.
Of course it will if others do the same and in many places this has already happened. See how much Germany has shifted towards renewables for example. Stop being such a boomer.

Nokooo a city that actually cares for the environment and doesn't endlessly waste and pollute! That's just evil COMMUNISM!!!!!! (you are braindead)
@@liladdymrtrent117 Fossil fuels won't be around here forever and it will become increasingly more difficult and expensive to obtain them so that's one reason why you got to find alternative sources of energy. Another is air pollution. Bad quality of air kills millions of people worldwide which for example coal is a major contributor of.
@@smirglvojtechskovajsa2787 That doesn’t mean we should ban them or destroy pipelines! Also clean energy is too expensive for most people! We can’t afford a Tesla, that’s cocaine money I don’t have!
Completely useless endeavor.
Nah.. we have the cleanest air, water and nature. Clean food. Other nations will have to change eventually.

I love Finland, but Earth needs MORE CO2, not less - don't starve Earth! "Climate Change" is nonsense.
I do hope you're joking
The earth has had much more carbon dioxide in the air in the past and also much less carbon dioxide in the air in the past. These fluctuations in carbon dioxide levels do make a difference to climate.
Even if you don't believe in climate change, air pollution is real so it's only good to shift away from coal and fossil fuels even just for the sake of that. I've been to India where air pollution can be quite severe. I've read an article saying conditions attributable to air pollution killed 1,2 million people there in 2019. And those are "only" those who died. There might be hundreds of thousands of people who get respiratory diseases every year. Also, fossil fuels won't be around forever and it will also be becoming increasingly more expensive to get them.
@@sebastianguerre6868 I agree with the fluctuations in temperatures, co2 and water levels etc. but I think we are relatively high in co2 concentrations currently, need to go back very long time when we had higher. But sure, water levels have been over 100m higher than now, so we plenty to go.
@@smirglvojtechskovajsa2787 Exactly. It's not just dying from it, but simply quality of life is so much better when you can go out for a walk and breath clean air.
Climate religion propaganda. ⛔⛔⛔
You believe it's a religion to believe that average temperatures have raised considerably and our actions probably plays a large part in it?
