During the plenary debate on the outcome of the UN climate summit, I highlighted how we now need to work together to drive systemic change, as opposed to how each political group has so far chosen individual climate-related challenges to fit their priorities.
When working with legislation that affects the entire EU, definitions are very important. Lapland’s forest, which naturally consists of two forest species, cannot be defined in the same way as the planted eucalyptus forests in Portugal.
During the last meeting of the Environmental committee, I spoke, among other things, about the difficulty of obtaining an accurate picture of forest density using satellite images. This is because, for example, deciduous trees change size between seasons.

Issues that are important to me
The near future has incredibly enormous challenges in store for us, not just at home in Finland, but also in Europe and the world. Finding solutions for and answers to these challenges is what motivates me in my daily work. The EU should use its combined strength for the big issues which require cooperation and for which everyone benefits from setting shared goals.
It is motivating to work in the European Parliament during these times, when the challenges for Europe and European cooperation seem to be increasing all the time. Politics has always interested me and I actually participated in my first political meetings when I was just 14 years old.
