Mykkänen: Watered-down deal better than complete failure at Cop-29

MINISTER of the Environment Kai Mykkänen (NCP) has expressed both disappointment and relief with the deal struck last weekend at Cop-29, the UN Climate Change Conference, in Baku, Azerbaijan.

“To all of us who were advocating for common action to withdraw from fossil fuels, this isn’t what we were after, but it’s better than nothing,” he summed up his feelings in the immediate aftermath of the conference, in an interview with Helsingin Sanomat on Sunday.
