Expenditure on the 2025 capital budget can be classified under the following headings:
- The road network
- Street lighting
- Town planning and housing
- The biodiversity atlas
- The Territorial Climate Air Energy Plan
- Information systems
- Construction projects (TLC, L'atelier, Cambour, Charenton health centre, Saint Amand Montrond health centre, rue Barbusse building, Balnéor)
The graph above shows the share of the budget allocated to each of the themes in the 2025 investment budget.
The investment expenditure and actions of the Communauté de communes are analysed using several indicators in order to assess whether they are predominantly favourable or unfavourable to the environment.
The evaluation indicators used cover all 6 environmental objectives:
- The fight against climate change,
- Adapting to climate change and preventing natural risks,
- Managing water resources,
- The transition to a circular economy, waste management and technological risk prevention,
- Combating pollution,
- Preserving biodiversity and protecting natural, agricultural and forestry areas.
Graph showing the breakdown of expenditure in relation to the overall budget
The graph shows the final breakdown of the green budget in relation to the overall budget. It shows that 1.3 % of expenditure is unfavourable to the environment, 13 % is favourable, 22.5 % falls into the mixed category and 63 % is considered neutral with regard to environmental issues.
Analysis of the data in the Green Budget 2025 shows that the Communauté de communes is taking the environment into account in its capital expenditure.
The Communauté de communes integrates environmental considerations into the overall design of its projects. This approach is reflected in the implementation of preliminary environmental studies carried out during the renovation of buildings, the renovation of roads and public lighting and waste management.
It also implements a number of initiatives specifically aimed at preserving and enhancing the environment, including :
- The creation of an Atlas of Intercommunal Biodiversity
- Drawing up a Territorial Climate Air Energy Plan (PCAET).
Other factors are also beneficial for the environment, such as the geographical proximity of partners, which limits greenhouse gas emissions linked to travel, and their commitment to sustainable development, demonstrated by the award of environmental labels or the implementation of CSR policies.
Finally, the Communauté de communes is strengthening its commitment to sustainable development through responsible purchasing and resource management choices, such as the use of recycled or bio-sourced materials and reconditioned IT equipment.
Despite this, the 2025 capital budget is mainly made up of expenditure on the acquisition of buildings and on studies, which means that it has not been possible to make a relevant assessment of certain issues, such as the management of water resources or the impact of expenditure on climate change.
