SYKE and Prime Minister’s Office
On Friday, 12 September, the Prime Minister’s Office published a report on the use of climate labels on products. The report serves as a background report to the Government foresight report on climate and energy policy. The report assesses the strengths and weaknesses of various labels and proposes a climate label prototype.
Citizens have concerns about climate change and are prepared for climate action. Many consumers consider that the lack of practical guidelines and insufficiency of knowledge preclude them from action. Information may be scattered or lacking. It may also be outdated or poorly understood. According to the report compiled by the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE), climate labels can enhance the dissemination of information that helps consumers to choose low-pollution products.
