Vantaa is a fast-growing city in southern Finland, forming part of the Helsinki metropolitan area and home to the country’s main international airport. With a cold climate, long winters and mild summers, the city is experiencing the effects of climate change through rising temperatures, changing snowfall patterns and increased rainfall, which place new demands on infrastructure and urban planning.
As a key transport and logistics hub, Vantaa faces specific challenges linked to mobility, energy use and land development. At the same time, rapid population growth is driving the need for new housing and services, making it essential to integrate climate action into urban expansion from the outset.
The city has set ambitious climate targets and is working across sectors to reduce emissions, with a strong focus on sustainable mobility, energy-efficient buildings and low-carbon district development. Public transport, electrification and smart planning are central to reducing reliance on private cars, while renewable energy and efficient heating solutions support the transition in the built environment.
Vantaa’s approach combines practical implementation with long-term planning. Through collaboration with businesses, residents and regional partners, the city is embedding climate action into everyday decision-making and urban growth. By aligning development with climate goals, Vantaa aims to build a well-connected, low-carbon city that supports both economic activity and a high quality of life.
