The Finnish Climate Change Panel facilitates dialogue between science and policy-making.

Finland set up a panel of climate scientists to ensure the effectiveness of their climate policies. The panel consists of members from educational sciences to atmospheric sciences. It provides independent, scientific and researched information on different aspects of climate change. For example, by knowing the social acceptability of electric cars and water management, Finland can choose efficient policies that are well received by the public.

In addition to providing information, the panel has created an online app that helps its users to more climate-friendly consumption.
