Sustainability Plan

As part of our commitment to be more sustainable, build creative solutions and solve environmental challenges, the city of Scottsdale is crafting its first Sustainability Plan.

The plan will tie together goals, strategies, implementation plans and metrics for improving sustainability, and provide a vision of a shared future for Scottsdale. Scheduled to be completed by the end of 2022, the Scottsdale Sustainability Plan will align with the vision, values and goals in the recently ratified Scottsdale General Plan 2035.
