Turku's Climate Team

Turku's Climate Team is a network aimed at companies and communities in the Turku region. It aims to make the fight against climate change visible, effective and communal. The Climate Team started as campaign-based activity in 2018 and got more formalised network structure in few years. It shares information about climate work and organizes regular events. In 2024, there are more than 130 local operators from various fields. The Climate Team's captain is a Finnish ex-hockey player Saku Koivu. The Climate Team can be joined by companies, communities and organizations of all sizes that do climate actions and operate in the Turku region. The effectiveness of the climate action is evaluated together with the city's climate experts, and it must genuinely reduce greenhouse emissions, either directly or indirectly. In addition, the climate actions should implement responsibility, promote sustainable innovations and business, and increase the opportunity for citizens to participate in the mitigation of climate change.
