The Greens in Porvoo protects nature and the climate

  • We mitigate climate change with sustainable solutions. Circular economy is also cost-effective.
  • We protect local nature. Abundant urban nature promotes well-being and health. We conserve diverse environment and slow down biodiversity loss.
  • We promote sustainable recreational use of nature. Trails, signs, and services are being improved also in the archipelago.
  • We improve the state of aquatic environments and promote contiguous forest conservation areas.


The Greens in Porvoo advances good everyday life, well-being, and equality

  • Our goal is to provide a good daily life for all in our town. We ensure easily accessible public spaces and services, and promote well-being through sports and culture.
  • We are creating attractive hometown for families with children. Migration and successful integration of new residents will help alleviate the challenges caused by declining birth rates.
  • We also support villages as attractive residential environments and ensure their services.
  • We invest in a vibrant cultural offering and encourage active participation: support, venues, and opportunities for associations and communities.


The Greens in Porvoo supports children and young people

  • We ensure quality education, sufficient resources, and reasonable class sizes.
  • We enable diverse learning environments. We support open early childhood education services and vibrant village schools.
  • We make travel between school and home as short and safe as possible.
  • Everyone’s welcome! We promote mental well-being, prevent problems, and offer low-threshold early support, as well as strengthen the activities of youth centers and organizations.


The Greens in Porvoo strengthens democracy and sustainable economy

  • We’re acting together to make our town better for everyone.
  • We engage in ongoing dialogue between residents, elected representatives, and officials. We insist on consistent, long-term, inclusive decision-making based on thorough and transparent information.
  • We are building sustainable economy. We make economically and ecologically sustainable as well as socially fair investments. Circular economy and tourism create local, sustainable jobs.
  • We promote agile cross-sectoral cooperation to achieve common goals. Supporting and leveraging the third sector complements the city’s own services.
  • We establish favorable business conditions. We develop employment opportunities in cooperation with local entrepreneurs and employers.


The Greens in Porvoo wants to make Porvoo a city that invites people to enjoy, connect, and exercise

  • We promote resident-centric and distinctive urban planning. We develop Porvoo by using its unique strengths, emphasizing a pleasant cityscape.
  • We preserve history and attract tourists through old buildings and cultural environments. Renovating buildings is often a more environmentally friendly option. Let’s put empty premises to use!
  • We work to make public transit functional and to connect the bike paths both in urban and rural areas. By doing this, we also support hobbies for children and young people and decrease reliance on cars.
