Alexander Stubb's cabinet was the 73rd Government of Finland, which came into office on 24 June 2014. It succeeded Jyrki Katainen's cabinet.
In September 2014 Green League decided to depart the government after the majority of the cabinet voted to approve a new decision-in-principle for the Fennovoima nuclear project.[1] The portfolios held by Green Legue were divided between the leading National Coalition Party and Social Democratic Party, so that Sirpa Paatero was chosen as the Minister for International Development and Sanni Grahn-Laasonen as Minister of the Environment.[2]
It was succeeded by the cabinet headed by Juha Sipilä on 29 May 2015.[3]
Portfolios
The NCP has six ministers in the Cabinet as does the SDP. The Green League and the SPP have two ministers each and the Christian Democrats has one.
Environmental policy

The new environmental minister Sanni Grahn-Laasonen appointed by Stubb cancelled the environmental program intended to protect the wet lands, favouring instead an approach based on voluntary protection. Former minister Ville Niinistö criticised the decision.[4] The Greens left the cabinet following the cabinet's decision to back a new nuclear plant with ties to Rosatom.
