10. SD Budgeting Process 2011
• Organs presented joint sustainable development measures as part of the
budget process.
• Organs distributed, as instructed, the measures’ effects in Euros over
the budget and planning period and to evaluate the measure’s effects on
the environment (direct and indirect)
• Investment projects (over €10,000) and financially significant measures
were individualised
• Evaluation of the measures’ effects on the environment was generally on
low level.
• Corporations record the environmental protection income, expenditure
and investments into SAP business management system from 1 Jan
2011. In other city units recording is voluntary during 2011

Measure
Cycling network throughout Turku city centre to be ready in
2015
The network’s progress (x metres) is included in the
investment plan as an annually individualised sustainable
development project
Resource
Overall cost estimate for the work, about €2 million

18. Further Development
• Development plan for SD budgeting 2011 -2013 is under implementation.
• Focus is on continuity, continuous improvement and step-by-step advancement.
• Development work is supported by existing decisions of City Council and
resources have been allocated for it.
• GHG emission reduction plans and monitoring of their impacts (consumption of
energy and materials, travels, activation of personnel) forms the core of the
process.
• Financial budget is – and has prooved to be – a highly effective ”instrument” for
assigning the core climate measures for the whole city organisation.
• Investment projects for sustainable urban infrastructure are a backbone for long-
term success.
• Integration: horizontally, vertically, within the whole functional urban area and
towards civic society and stakeholders…
• CHAMP and Managing Urban Europe-25 projects have been helpful sepecially
for identifying the management steps – defining and developing them within the
esisting regular management system of the city.
