As of 2019, Finland now emits less CO₂ than Sweden & Norway in aggregate terms.
Finnish CO₂ emissions went down 9% in 2019.
Interesting to see how things look in 2021 (after 2020 changes).

Though, CO₂ emissions per person are still relatively high in Finland, more than twice the global average.
In good news, Finnish CO₂ emissions per person are falling relatively fast.

Here are the CO₂ emissions including LULUCF. The net CO₂ emissions have risen, due to a weakening sink (the gross emissions should be the same as tweet #2)
5/
The LULUCF CO₂ emissions have increased (got less negative) due to less update in forests.
I do not know why, would have to ask a Finn! Could be increased harvest, management, age class effects, etc.
6/
Methane emissions have continued downwards, primarily due to less methane emissions in the waste sector.
7/
N₂O emissions have been flat, except from a dramatic drop around 2008/2009. This is probably a factory closure.
