Accessibility Statement

This statement concerns the website BlueAdapt.fi website, which is the responsibility of the Finnish Environment Institute SYKE and maintained by Demos Helsinki.

The site is subject to the Act on the Provision of Digital Services.

Current accessibility

We have reviewed the website to verify whether it meets the level AA accessibility requirements of WCAG 2.1. The website meets the accessibility requirements partially.

In October 2020 we have corrected some issues, such as colour contrasts, alt text of images and plain language of links.

It is possible that some of the website’s functions cannot be made to conform to the accessibility requirements without significant changes and costs.

Given the limited duration of the BlueAdapt project (three years) and the limited resources of the project, we have estimated that compliance with all accessibility requirements currently imposes a disproportionate burden on the BlueAdapt project.

The following functions do not comply with the accessibility requirements, because we have not been able to fully conform to these requirements due to the large amount of work needed to do so:

– infographics

The following functions are not accessible, because the accessibility legislation does not apply to them:

– Video and audio published before 23.9.2020: podcasts, video on 7.5.2019 and recording of seminar on 25-26.9.2018: seminar and public lecture.

– Third-party content not funded, developed or monitored by SYKE

In the future, we will pay more attention to these problem areas. When adding new content to our website, our aim will be to make this content accessible.
