Tallinn City Council initiated the preparation of the Tallinn Environmental Strategy to 2030 and set out the terms of reference with Decision No. 303, taken on 16 December 2010. According to § 3 (2) of Tallinn City Council Regulation No. 13, dated 25 February 2010: “The procedure for proceeding of Tallinn development documents”, the Tallinn Environmental Strategy is the city’s strategic development document, which should be added alongside the Tallinn Development Strategy and the comprehensive plan for Tallinn. Tallinn Environmental Strategy 2030 (hereinafter ‘Tallinn Environmental Strategy’) is an environmental development strategy for integrated planning of environmental measures in Tallinn. The Tallinn Environmental Strategy is prepared according to the procedure for processing strategic development documents in Tallinn and is in line with those documents, such as the “Tallinn 2030” strategy, Development Plan of Tallinn, and also with the principles and targets specified in the Estonian Environmental Strategy 2030. The main objective in developing the Tallinn Environmental Strategy is to achieve a good condition of the natural and living environments in the city, and to ensure sustainable use of natural resources by establishing long-term development directions. The Environmental Strategy should facilitate reduction of negative environmental impacts, improvement of environmental conditions and raising general environmental awareness. Since it has an important impact on people’s health and well-being, ensuring good environmental conditions also ensures a healthy living environment for people. In order to achieve this, the Environmental Strategy determines the visions, objectives and courses of action for sustainable development in various subjects including, among others, natural diversity, landscaping, the quality of ambient air, the water supply, waste management, and the management of the environment, including environmental education. The Environmental Strategy is to be taken as a guide when planning and implementing both environmental issues and other fields of activities in regard to the city. On one hand, the Environmental Strategy supplies the principles and tasks for the city itself, that is to say, for the city’s government authority in organising the life of the city, while on the other hand, it also supplies principles and tasks for undertakings, citizens, public authorities, neighbouring local government authorities, organisations and any others that may have an impact on Tallinn’s environment with their activities. The first section of the Tallinn Environmental Strategy 2030 includes an overview of the initial situation in regard to the environment and an analysis of the problems and the reasons for such problems where these form a basis for the preparation of the next section of the Environmental Strategy. The second section of the Environmental Strategy consists of the vision that is being aimed at with the implementation of the document, ie. the desired environmental situation for the city, as well as objectives that determine what is to be achieved. In order to implement this vision and achieve the objectives, courses of action are detailed in the strategic document. In addition, the Environmental Strategy highlights the possible risks involved in achieving the objectives that have been set out in the strategy, as well as the options for managing these risks, and the procedure for monitoring and amending the Environmental Strategy document. The Tallinn Environmental Strategy is prepared by and the process managed by Tallinn City Environment Department, which is also responsible for the overall project. The process of developing the environmental strategy began with the formation of a working group and agreement of the process to be used. The environmental strategy process consisted of a thorough analysis of the current situation and the mapping out of any problem areas, one part of which was finding and analysing the causes of any problems, along with their consequences and the connections between them. This was followed up by setting out a vision for the 4 period between now and 2030, agreeing upon the principles of development, the strategic objectives, and the courses of action to be undertaken. The preparation of the Tallinn Environmental Strategy was undertaken by employees from various divisions of the Tallinn City Environment Department (along with field specialists from the environmental management, landscaping, and waste management divisions). The so-called stakeholders, that is to say, specialists from various fields who were drawn from the offices of the city’s government authority, the state authorities, and various other undertakings and organisations, were also involved in the process. Suggestions by these stakeholders have been taken into account in the preparation of the Environmental Strategy document. By means of disclosure, the wider public and the inhabitants of Tallinn have also been involved in the process. The Environmental Strategy will be published in April 2011, at which point a public display and discussion will be held. The Tallinn Environmental Strategy will be implemented through the Tallinn Environmental Action Plan 2018, establishing concrete measures, executors and funding sources for achievement of strategic objectives. The Tallinn Environmental Strategy serves as a source document for any environmental development and action plans, which will have to be based on the principles established in the Environmental Strategy. The Tallinn Environmental Strategy creates a framework for integrated decision-making and sustainable development of the city is one of the main objectives of the Strategy. The monitoring, amending and complementing of the Tallinn Environmental Strategy takes place according to requirements, but this happens at least once every five years. 5 1 1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF THE TALLINN ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY TO 2010 AND STARTING POINTS FOR THE TALLINN ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY TO 2030 6 The Tallinn Environmental Strategy to 2010 was accepted by Tallinn City Council by means of Regulation No. 5, dated 22 January 1998, and this was valid until 2010. Below, the accuracy of the presumptions that were made in the Tallinn Environmental Strategy to 2010 (hereafter The Environmental Strategy 2010) has been analysed, as has the implementation of the general principles. The implementation of the previous environmental strategy by topics has been evaluated in the chapter that covers the initial situation. The Environmental Strategy 2010 stated that environmental protection should be seen as one of the main bases of city development, something to be held to be equally as important as the economy, because the city is first and foremost a living environment for people and the environment and people have a mutual impact on each other. The protection and improvement of the city’s environment is a necessity and also a direct obligation since the social and economic development of society depends on it. Current and future generations deserve to live in an environment that promotes physical, mental and social development. The Environmental Strategy is based on the same principles, according to which environmental protection should be handled under the same principles as the other fields of city management, and in an integrated manner. The Environmental Strategy 2010 was based on the presumption that the population total for Tallinn would shrink in forthcoming years and stabilise around the turn of the century, and that the population of Harju County which abuts Tallinn will increase on account of the population shift from Tallinn, wherefore the development of these areas should be viewed in the context of the development of Tallinn. The towns of Saue, Paldiski and Maardu, together with the Port of Muuga, were considered to have a significant impact on this development. While the 1990s were marked by a significant reduction in the population of Tallinn, during the 2000s the population has remained more or less stable and has even started to increase.1 At the same time, the population of Tallinn has mainly been reduced by the urban sprawl that was created in the middle of the first decade of the twenty-first century.2 Tallinn’s area of influence has first and foremost expanded into the neighbouring local government authority districts in Harju County (Viimsi, Rae, Kiili, Saku, Saue and Harku rural municipalities).

Hea meel on tõdeda, et selts on endiselt tegus ja seltsi kuuluvad aktiivseid liikmeid, kellel on entusiasmi ja motivatsiooni asumis kogukonda kokku tuua ja seista meie naabruskonna elukeskkonna eest.

Ootasime talgupäeva, ent viirusega seotud kriisiperiood tegi plaanidesse muudatuse.
