An Introduction to Environmental Monitoring & Impact Analysis
One of the principles of the Towns Fund is clean growth. Clean growth increase productivity, create good jobs, boost earning power for people right across the country, and help protect the climate and environment upon which we and future generations depend.
Towns are well placed to incorporate clean growth investment in their TIPs. Using an ‘outcome-let design process’ Towns should set clear objectives at the outset of their TIP to drive positive environmental outcomes and clean growth.
This document provides outcome ‘themes’ that Towns could consider in their TIPs. It provides example indicators that can be used to assess the effectiveness of the environmental objectives as well as signposting to key guidance documents and information resources.
