This Guide to Municipal Finance describes the current issues in municipal finance and the ways in which local governments finance services and infrastructure. It sets out a basic economic framework that is used to evaluate the different aspects of municipal finance and that can be used by readers to evaluate other options. The Guide emphasizes that responsible, accountable, and efficient local governments need to raise their own revenues as much possible, adhere to an open and visible municipal budgetary process, and engage in transparent and prudent financial management.

Decision-makers who guide urban development need the most reliable and current information possible upon which to act. Unfortunately a good deal of information – some contradictory, not all trustworthy – is in circulation regarding climate change and its potential effects upon cities. It is not always clear what represents the scientific consensus.

Neste libro descríbense aquelas especies de flora invasora máis significativas e, polo tanto máis agresivas de cara a colonizar con celeridade novos espazos e hábitatas. Tamén se sinalan as ameazas e os métodos de contros e prevención que deberemos ter en conta para evitar que Galicia, ademáis de sufrir os efectos negativos que chegarán co cambio climático, se vexa depauperado e aínda máis castigada pola presenza de especies estrañas que compiten activamente coas do patrimonio natural galego.

 The urban environment and local governance has been accorded unparalleled attention in the recent international debate on development. UNCED, the 1992 Earth Summit, will be remembered as the conference in which the world acknowledged the importance of the environment for social and economic development. UNCED also recognised the potential of the SCP as a vehicle for implementing Agenda 21 at the city level, and recommended strengthening its role in this regard.
