Impact-based budget
Anchoring local sustainability in the budget.
An impact-based budget combines financial stability with environmental responsibility and social justice. The aim is to use public funds in such a way that today’s demands are met without restricting the scope of action for future generations. Sustainability is understood as a binding guiding principal budget planning and management. An impact-based budget considers long-term effects of expenditure and investment. Besides the short-term costs, follow-up costs, environmental impacts and social effects are also incorporated into the decision-making processes. As a result, transparent priorities, and an improved alignment of policy objectives, financial resources and sustainable development are established.
An impact-based budget enables municipalities to align their expenditure and investments strategically and sustainably with social-ecological criteria.
