Financing Local Futures
| Supported by CIPFA, the LGA and the IDeA, Financing Local Futures is a web-based resource designed to help those involved in local government financial decision-making to develop their own organisations' contributions to sustainable development. The guide explores the opportunities available through existing financial mechanisms, policies and powers to encourage a sustainable future, and focuses on the role of local government financial decision-makers. It points to ways in which local authorities can use finance not only to gain financial and economic benefits but also to contribute to the health, well-being and prosperity of their communities and to protect and enhance the environment.
