Dubuque's Approach
Sustainability is defined by a community’s ability to meet the environmental, economic, and social equity needs of today without reducing the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
Sustainable Dubuque is a holistic approach to making our community sustainable. Our model involves a three-part approach that addresses:
- Environmental and Ecological Integrity
- Economic Prosperity
- Social and Cultural Vibrancy
|
|
| Each of these pieces is important individually and helps contribute to a sustainable community. Find out more about how the model works. |
In 2006 and every year since, the Mayor and City Council identified becoming a more Sustainable City as one of their top priorities for our community. Implementation of a community-defined sustainability plan is among the top Council priorities for this year, and each of this year's priorities incorporate one of the parts of Dubuque's model of sustainability. |
