Welcome to the website of the Green Fiscal Commission. The Commission was publicly launched on 14 November 2007 and over the next year and half we will be looking in detail at the whole range of issues surrounding green taxes and environmental tax reform (ETR). The Commission’s work will cover four broad areas:
How green taxes/ ETR works
The environmental, economic and social implications of ETR
Attitudes to green taxes and ETR
Communication of our findings.
CIPFA's new publication sets the scene for people in public sector organisations who need to know the current state of play on the sustainability agenda, and provides a tool to help them to communicate to all of their stakeholders how they are responding to the challenge.
CIPFA is one of the leading professional accountancy bodies in the UK and the only one which specialises in the public sector. It is responsible for the education and training of professional accountants and for their regulation through the setting and monitoring of professional standards. Uniquely among the professional accountancy bodies in the UK, CIPFA has responsibility for setting accounting standards for a significant part of the economy, namely local government.
To develop systems that will help both public and private sector organisations account more accurately for the wider social and environmental costs of their activities.
