Eduskunnan tulevaisuusvaliokunta
Kehittää tulevaisuuspoliittista keskustelua hallituksen ja yleensä yhteiskunnan kanssa.
Arvioida hallituksen raportteja ja vastata niihin
Organisoida ja koordinoida teknologian arviointia eduskunnassa
Seurata tulevaisuudentutkimuksen ja ennakointityön tuloksia

Hallituksen ja eduskunnan välinen tulevaisuusdialogiMuodolliset puitteet: Kerran vaalikaudessa hallitus antaa raportin pitkän ajan näkymistä
ja hallituksen tavoitteista Pääministeri päättää raportin aiheenValtioneuvoston kanslia valmistelee raportin, joka hallituksen
käsittelyn jälkeen annetaan eduskunnalleJärjestetään alueellisia tulevaisuusfoorumeita selonteosta
keskustelemiseksiValtioneuvoston kanslia seuraa hallituksen kannanottojen
toteutumista

Parliamentary TA Practices in Different Countries EPTA: European Parliamentary Technology Assessment
network
In Germany, closely connected to the Parliament but ”the director of TAB is scientifically responsible for the studies of the TAB”. TAB researchers used to do the studies.
In United Kingdom, POST is closely linked to the Parliament but the independence is stressed both in the selection of assessment themes and during the assessment processes.
In Danmark Teknologirådet: ”Informed consent of citizens”, complicated relationship with the Parliament

Less Parliamentary Oriented TA- Practices In Swiss, TA-Swiss connected to ”Schweizerische
Wissenschaft- und Technologierat”. Based on projects made by external experts. Detailed ”Internal Guidelines for Project Management”
In Austria, connected to ”Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften”. ITA researchers used to do the studies. Scientific neutrality stressed

TA/Foresight Activities in the Finnish Parliament: Filtering of Themes The key requirement: Champions of the theme
in the Committee for the Future MPs make proposals based on discussions
with the Committee Secretariat At least the Chairman and vice-Chairman
have to support the proposal Often the TA-advicer makes short evaluation The Committee decides

Management Structures
TA Studies supervised by a Steering Group (SG) Consist of Parliamentarias Chaiman comes from the Committee for the Future Other Committee invited to nominate SG representatives
about ten SG members in most studies Meetings held every second month or so (differences)
Pre-Studies typically a report of some fifty pages developed in 2-4
months Open relevant questions for the main TA study

Dissemination of TA Results
Parliamentary debates based on the statements of the Committee for the Future (e.g. The Futures of the Finnish Healthcare -project)
Public hearings in the Parliament ( e.g. Russia 2017 –project)

Committee Statements and Reports in Media Media attention
Varies from study to studyEspecially the report “Russia 2017 – three
scenarios” was extensively discussed in press and in TV
Reports widely distributed available in the Internet

The structural change in the Finnish forest sector is closely related to global challenges
The role of forests in the climate change: carbon uptake and the source of bioenergy
Electronics and paper as substitutes and complements Pulp and timber production in tropical countries
competing with the tradional production in the north Forests, food plants, energy plants and animals as
competitors in the land use especially in tropical countries

Project of the Committee for the Future in the Finnish Parliament: Forests, food and water and the challenges of the climate change
Very controversial evaluations concerning the role of forests in the climate change
In materials of IPCC in 2007 the range of shares was 6 % - 18 %.
Prof Pekka Kauppi (2007) has even considered that the net impact would have been even negative

Brazil – Great opportunity for global bioproduction? (Veracel planner Taavi Siuko)
Area 852 milj. ha = US + Germany + Spain. Population 2006 188 milj.
Without taking any new land from rain forests 375 milj. ha. that can be used for more efficient bioproduction
Only 65 milj. ha in efficient or rather efficient use either in food plant production (58 Mha) or in cultivated forests (7 Mha). Other land used for unefficient cattle breeding (190 Mha) or poorly growing forest ( 80 Mha)
![Page 22: Tulevaisuusvaliokunta 1999 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070313/554aa9d6b4c905da668b4d53/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Lot of question marks related to the great opportunities of Brazil
Who owns the land? Great social inequality, unjustice, cattle owners in the power
Growing risk for the use of remaining rain forests because the growing demand of food e.g. in China and the increasing demand of biofuels
Problems related to water and phosphorus, less nitrogen
Efficient use of gene technology one opportunity In principle, only small share of the available land
would be enough for future global needs of pulp

CHALLENGES OFTHE GLOBAL INFORMATION SOCIETY
(Pekka Himanen 2004) 1. Increasing international tax competition 2. The new global division of labour 3. Population ageing 4. Increasing pressures on the welfare society 5. The second phase of the information society 6. The rise of cultural industries 7. The rise of bio -industries 8. Regional concentration 9. A deepening global divide 10. The spread of a “culture of emergency”
![Page 27: Tulevaisuusvaliokunta 1999 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070313/554aa9d6b4c905da668b4d53/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

New project: Renewal of Finland based on
Learning - Challenges of Ubique network society
The first phase of the information society focused on the development of technology, such as network connections
In the second phase, which has now begun, technological development will continue (e.g. RFID); however, ubique network society means first of all changes in the way of life
![Page 28: Tulevaisuusvaliokunta 1999 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070313/554aa9d6b4c905da668b4d53/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Futures of the Finnish Health Care System
Prevention is much more cost- effective (in healthy years of life) than cure. Active role of citizens and social communities in the promotion of their health
Key role of information and communication technology or ICT
New regional organization of the health care in Finland is needed ( e.g.”Welfare districts” )
Future costs of new new cures based on gene and stem cell technology (e.g. new drugs)

Russia 2017 - Background of the Scenarios
Historical developments of Russia and Finland have been closely interconnected. For Finland its big neighbour has always been very important.
The year 2017 is the centenary of both the Russian Revolution and the independence of Finland.
![Page 30: Tulevaisuusvaliokunta 1999 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070313/554aa9d6b4c905da668b4d53/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Three Main Economic Dimensions of the Scenarios
Energy export capacity of Russia can either increase (+) or decrease (-)
The economy and exports will either diversify from energy producing sectors (+) or not (-)
Diversification can take place either based on new high-tech or new information technology based sectors or inherited industrial sectors
![Page 31: Tulevaisuusvaliokunta 1999 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070313/554aa9d6b4c905da668b4d53/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Three Possible Social Developments in Russia
Planned development towards true democracy based on big diversifying energy companies controlled by the strong government (“Gazprom”, compare chaebols in Korea , keiretsus in Japan )
Middle class dominated permissive society developing towards genuine democracy. Innovative use of ICT in a society actively looking for international investments.
Elite with power secures its power and privileges using nationalistic rhetoric. No genuine democracy.
![Page 32: Tulevaisuusvaliokunta 1999 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070313/554aa9d6b4c905da668b4d53/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Three Combined Scenarios
Economic development
Social development
Energy export capacity +, diversification
Energy export capacity –,diversification
Energy export capacity same or less, no diversification
Planned development based on big diversifying companies
1. INFLUENTIALGLOBAL ACTOR BASED ON ENERGY EXPERTISE
Society of middle class and networks
2.PERMESSIVE MOSAIC RUSSIA
Elite with power secures its power
3. POWER ELITES’ RUSSIA
