What is the role of the Sustainability Commission?

Its focus includes energy efficiency, natural resource protection, climate resilience, sustainable transportation, air quality, stormwater management, wildlife preservation, and climate change mitigation.
Commission participants play an active role in shaping the Delaware County Sustainability Action Plan by recommending actions, programs, and projects that promote sustainability through a Triple Bottom Line approach—balancing environmental stewardship, economic responsibility, and social equity. In addition, the Commission helps educate the public and supports municipalities, businesses, and non-profits in advancing sustainability goals across the county.
