Finland’s Regional Climate Change Scenarios (Climateguide / FMI–SYKE–Luke, TAPSI project)

Interactive mapping tool showing regional climate change projections (temperature & precipitation) for Finland using CMIP6 model ensembles (SSP1–SSP5 scenarios), 10×10 km resolution, supporting adaptation planning through visual comparison of future climate conditions.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Select an area of interest in Finland.
  • Explore projected changes in annual and monthly temperature and precipitation.
  • Compare CMIP6 projections across SSP1–SSP5 scenarios.
  • Compare future climate conditions across regions and time horizons.
  • Explore projections presented at 10 × 10 km resolution.

Output

  • Interactive maps of projected temperature and precipitation changes.
  • Regional climate projections at 10 × 10 km resolution.
  • Results from CMIP6 model ensembles across SSP1–SSP5 scenarios.
  • Climate indicators supporting comparison of future conditions across Finland.
  • Explanatory information available through Climateguide.

Use it to

  • Explore how average temperature and precipitation may change across Finland.
  • Compare regional differences under alternative future scenarios.
  • Establish a forward-looking climate evidence base for adaptation planning.
  • Identify regions and sectors where more detailed impact or risk assessment may be needed.
  • Support national and subnational climate discussions and planning.
  • Communicate projected regional climate change to stakeholders and the public.

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Makes the latest regional climate scenarios easier to compare across Finland by presenting CMIP6 ensemble results at a consistent 10 × 10 km resolution. This helps users see where average temperature and precipitation changes may differ across the country and provides a shared scientific starting point for adaptation discussions. It is particularly useful for screening and strategic planning, but it does not directly assess hazards, impacts or adaptation options, so additional sectoral and local analysis is needed for specific decisions.

Used in

  • National and regional climate-change assessment in Finland.
  • Adaptation-planning evidence developed through the Finnish TAPSI project.
  • Regional scenario analysis undertaken through collaboration between the Finnish Meteorological Institute, the Finnish Environment Institute and Natural Resources Institute Finland.
  • Comparison of CMIP6 SSP1–SSP5 scenarios across Finland at 10 × 10 km resolution.
  • Climate information supporting Finnish sectors including agriculture, forestry, water management, health, transport, energy and land-use planning.
