SLPF is the TSI project of the European Cities Network for Sustainable Public Finances (https://www.cspf.eu), managed by KDZ. The cities of Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bordeaux, and Hamburg, with the support of KDZ, have applied to the European Commission for a TSI-project (Technical Support Instrument) to make the following:
- the Sustainability Goals (SDGs) and
- the Green Agenda
an integral part of their decision-making processes and public financial management. Specifically, the goal is to develop the foundations for "SDG & Green Budgeting" in these four cities.
During the analysis phase, the current political, legal, and institutional frameworks for SDG/Green Budgeting in the cities will be assessed, and recommendations for further development will be made.
- SDGs budgetary governance systems in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bordeaux, Hamburg
- Governing SDGs in European Cities
In the implementation phase, specific methods for SDG/Green Budgeting and relevant KPIs will be introduced into action plans for each city.
- SDG Budgeting Methodology – Scenario and KPIs for European Cities
- Guideline "Financial impact of SDGs in European Cities: KPIs in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bordeaux, and Hamburg"
- Climate Finance Tool Bordeaux
In the dissemination phase, training and workshops will be conducted for city staff and in the four countries. Events are planned in other EU countries to further spread the results of the municipal SDG & Green Budgeting initiative.
Other cities, such as Tallinn, have expressed interest in participating via the European Commission, and their participation as observers is planned.
