Sustainability Goals

The City of Birmingham’s resident-led Ad Hoc Environmental Sustainability Committee ("ESC") has begun/made progress on drafting the City's first Sustainability and Climate Action Plan. The Committee members feel it is crucial to get feedback from the entire community on the set of goals that the City should aspire to over the next 10 years. These goals are being drafted based on a combination of feedback received from earlier public engagement, a formal climate risk and vulnerability analysis, results of a greenhouse gas inventory, and significant research about what other communities across Michigan and the U.S. are doing.

The following survey is designed to inform you about some proposed goals and actions and to get your assessments of them. Your answers will be essential for the ESC in finalizing the Sustainability and Climate Action Plan. Please know that although significant work went into the development of the following proposed goals, they are not finalized and will be heavily informed by the feedback given by our community members. We look forward to your thoughts!
