Cities shape a sustainable future
In 2015, 193 countries in the UN General Assembly voted to adopt the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Helsinki wants to be a city at the forefront of sustainable development, now and in the future, and is strongly committed to sustainability – including social, ecological, economic and cultural sustainability. For each of these, we want to take concrete action to demonstrate our will and ambition to do better.
Juhana Vartiainen
Mayor of Helsinki
