Baseline Review = first important stepTo analyse in which condition the environment /sustainability in the municipality is at present
Regularly repeating part of every EMS/ SUM = continuous and dynamic process Getting started although some information will still be missing
It is no obstacle if the data can not be completed within the first run. Based on the information and data available the first sustainability programme (management plan) can be drawn up
Necessary to define measures that refer to the creation of reference data and indicators that are not available at this point
Important to renew the “assessment of the local situation” on a current basis and to add new information regularly
Baseline Review
Name/event
Baseline ReviewThe assessment of the current situation should be structured (*) in:
Definition of the scope of the “assessment of the local situation” = whole functional urban area
Content of the “assessment of the local situation”= Definition of all relevant environmental /sustainability aspects
Mapping the legal requirements
Selection of the methodology to elaborate “assessment of the local situation”
Overview of departments involved, superior authorities, and private stakeholders
Collection of information and (key)data and /or indicators
Evaluation of the current situation
(*1) in compliance with EMAS II and ISO 14.001
Name/event
Definition of the scope
= whole functional urban area
all relevant impacts on sustainable development of the municipality are to be considered:
impacts within the municipality’s responsibility (involving the private economy and citizens)
as well as the impact of activities of all actors (municipality and stakeholders) on neighbouring municipalities and cities
Name/event
Definition of contents: Possible Structure /red line
According to Aalborg Commitments = ten fields of action and 50 key activities for municipal sustainable development
According to typical” organisational structure of a municipality = municipality services and responsabilities
Direct and indirect aspects of sustainability (Environment, Society, Economy)
Name/event
Mapping the legal requirements
• The Baseline Review serves to determine how the requirements set in current legislation are implemented. Every municipality department /service should elaborate an index of relevant legislation that the community is obliged to fulfil or to take into account.
• The Baseline Review should describe the current structure implemented to make sure that relevant legislation is accessible for all staff and that is updated at regular intervals.
Name/event
SWOT-AnalysisThe SWOT-Analysis as a method for the implementation of the Baseline Review
Collection of information and (key)data:
As a basis for a solid and comprehensible evaluation in context of the SWOT-Analysis, the municipality should draw up a chart of the current reference data and indicators on the environment/sustainability
Participants of the Baseline Review: For comprehending the “assessment of the local situation” the municipality needs all information and estimation of all relevant stakeholders
Evaluation of the current situation and priority setting regarding continual improvement
