he first environmental financial statement of the city of Tam- pere will be prepared for the fi- Tnancial year 2011. It will be pub- lished on the city’s web site in the spring of 2012. The environmental financial statement is a voluntary report providing more details to the official financial state- ments about the environmental revenue, expenses and investments of the finan- cial period. The environmental financial statement allows monitoring the city’s environmental activities from a financial perspective as well as setting goals and evaluating the adequacy of resources in the long term. The environmental finan- cial statement is based on environmental bookkeeping that will be developed and specified in more detail in the coming years.

In the environmental financial statement for 2011, environmental revenue totalled € 24.4 million or 7.7 per cent of the city’s operating revenue. Environmental ex-

The City of Tampere also bears a global responsibility according to the sustain- able development commitments of the Aalborg Charter. For the tenth year al- ready, Tampere participates in the North- South Local Government Co-operation Programme financed by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs with its Tanzanian friend- ship city Mwanza. A new financing peri- od started in the programme in 2011, and during the current 3-year-period, special focus is placed on improving the quality of service in the city of Mwanza, developing business opportunities and sustainable environmental management. Employees of the city of Tampere pro- vide expert support for the project.

The city of Tampere has been a Fair Trade City since 2008 and continues the work required for the title by introducing Fair Trade products in various functions of the city. The European Commission decided at the end of 2011 to finance the Fair Trade promotion work done by Tampere and a couple of other cities. The project will start in early 2012. Ari Järvelä Firemen from the Tanzanian friendship city Mwanza visited Tampere in work exchange. Fireman Ville Suomela presented various fire-fighting methods in the central firestation of Tampere.

Successful shift of focus in child welfare and protection

Economic development services supporting the development of operating environment

A favourable operating environment for companies and skilled people is one of the key factors affecting the success of Tampere. To promote this, the city offers economic development services through Tampere Central Region’s economic de- velopment company Tredea Oy.

Even in the economically challenging times, the city was able to respond quickly to the restructuring of the ICT field, for example. Also the demand for business plots stayed on a good level.

New records were made in tourism when the Tampere–Pirkkala airport recorded the highest numbers of passengers ever in June and July 2011. Progress was also made in the planning of the new termi- nal.

ervices promoting culture and quality of life encourage citi- zens to engage in active and Sversatile hobbies and leisure ac- tivities. High-quality cultural and leisure services also increase the attraction and visibility of the city.

More opportunities to have an influence

The new Finnish Health Care Act that came into force in May gives the citizens the right to choose which health centre they want to use. By the end of 2011, some 2,500 citizens had changed health care centres.

Opportunities to have an influence on your own health care are also improved by participation in the Potku project fo- cusing on involving the patient in to the planning and implementation of care. Susanna Lyly Nurse Päivi Asunen is examining a patient in the day surgery unit.
