Sustainability
The Environmental Services Division promotes and implements practices that increase resiliency and reduce harmful impacts on shared resources by improving City operations and facilities and providing assistance to businesses and residents to ensure shared resources meet the needs of current and future generations. This work is guided by the Sustainable Santa Fe 25-Year Plan, developed by a citizen-led commission, City staff, and other community members. The plan, adopted by City Council in 2018, established 91 strategies to achieve carbon neutrality, improve quality of life and social equity, enhance ecological resilience, and strengthen the economy.
