Such a budgeting approach facilitates collaboration between the employees of different city departments, which is indispensable for achieving the carbon emissions reduction targets.

Furthermore, making information on the city’s strategic climate goals and measures an integral part of its annual budgets and reports allows city managers to continually monitor progress towards the established CO2 targets.

For city representatives, climate budgeting makes it possible to communicate the actual performance improvements and development needs more effectively to citizens and other partners.
