So, in a way, it has had to be a focus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solutions-over-rhetoric\">Solutions over rhetoric<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the ambassador, this has cultivated a national culture that prioritizes practical solutions over rhetoric\u2014a mindset closely linked to Finland\u2019s sustainability record and its reputation as one of the world\u2019s happiest nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPerhaps one part of our happiness is also that we rely on solutions,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not about talking things; we are really looking for solutions. That mindset guides us when we talk about sustainability, climate, and the environment, whether domestically or internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing concerns about whether African countries can pursue ambitious renewable energy targets amid development challenges, Heikka said Kenya is already making notable progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKenya is actually doing quite well on renewable energy,\u201d she said. \u201cWe share a lot, and we also want to learn from Kenya in that regard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, she cautioned that ambition comes with challenges, even for developed countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe set very ambitious goals, but it\u2019s not always easy to actually fulfill them. Being ambitious is important in order to be serious in your work, but it\u2019s a challenge for us as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heikka highlighted Finland\u2019s efforts to address sustainability through societal initiatives and individual responsibility, including digital tools that promote personal action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example is a mobile application developed by Finland\u2019s innovation fund that allows individuals to calculate their carbon footprint and identify ways to reduce it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can measure your own carbon footprint by answering loads of questions, and then you get an idea of what you can do to really make an influence at the individual level,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat is needed as well\u2014choices from all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finland\u2019s Ambassador to Kenya, Riina-Riikka Heikka, shares how respect for nature and practical solutions drive Finland\u2019s
