Environment <br /> • Natural Systems (ecosystems and habitat, water and stormwater, air quality, waste, <br /> and resource conservation) <br /> • Planning and Design (land use, transportation and mobility, and parks, open space <br /> and recreation) <br /> • Energy and Climate (energy, greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants, renewable <br /> energy, and green building) <br /> Economy <br /> • Economic Development (clean technologies and green jobs, local commerce, tourism, <br /> and local food system) <br /> • Employment and Workforce Training (green job training, employment and workforce wages, <br /> and youth skills) <br /> Society <br /> • Affordability and Social Equity (affordable and workforce housing, poverty. human services and <br /> race and social equity) <br /> • Children, Health, and Safety (community health and wellness, access to health care, and public <br /> safety) <br /> • Education, Arts, and Community (education excellence, arts and culture, and civic engagement <br /> and vitality) <br /> This list provides a starting point for local governments to consider when scoping their plan. Each local <br /> government needs to ensure that the plan promotes sustainable development, meets the needs of its <br /> constituencies, and can realistically be implemented. <br /> To date, few sustainability plans have comprehensively addressed all of the topics listed above. Most <br /> local governments choose to focus on the physical environment and natural resources, and thereby sup- <br /> port economic development and social equity goals through infrastructure and quality-of-life improve- <br /> ments that distribute resources more equitably. Some local governments have elected not to address all <br /> these topics in one plan because they already had programs or plans in place to address specific issues <br /> such as education or health care and did not want to duplicate efforts. Should this be the case, local <br /> governments are encouraged to spell out how the sustainability plan aligns with the goals and measures <br /> in any associated plan. <br /> For examples of what other local governments have included in their plans, refer to the Sustainability <br /> and Climate Action Plan Examples in your toolkit folder. <br /> f <br /> k <br /> 11 <br />
