FINLAND: Helvi

-

Katri Blomqvist and her one-year-old daughter Helvi live in Levi, Lapland, in the Arctic Circle, under the threat of the melting ice caps.

Finland’s annual mean temperatur­e has risen by over 2C since the mid-19th century, causing floods.

Katri, 38, says: “I’m afraid we will lose our four seasons and our child will get used to a Black Christmas – some years now there is no snow.

“I’m very concerned about the increase in rainfall and flooding.”
