Growth and Development from Wood: The main target is to promote wood construction. The Wood Building program concentrates on improving the opportunities, innovations, know how and awareness of wood building in the Finnish construction sector. Increasing the use of wood contributes to the attainment of climate targets through the eco efficiency of the whole lifecycle of building, but also through the fact that more carbon is stored by buildings.
