Commitment to Sustainability

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 looks at:

• Environmental and Ecological Integrity
• Economic Prosperity
• Social and Cultural Vibrancy

Each of these pieces is important individually and helps contribute to a sustainable community.
