Our First Initiative
Sustain Charlotte launched Charlotte 2030: A Sustainable Vision for Our Region on November 1, 2010. This milestone for our region is the product of countless volunteer hours, and the engagement of more than 100 local citizens and experts from many disciplines using a collaborative and consensus-based process, drawn from government, the nonprofit and private sectors, and academia.

We are now working hard to turn this vision into a reality and urging the City of Charlotte to adopt a Sustainability Plan that translates this vision into actionable goals. Thanks to the many individuals who gave their time and shared their ideas to write this community vision for our future!
Our Current Initiatives
We have a number of initiatives underway. If you would like to help support any of these initiatives please contact us. We are:
- Partnering with Charlotte Neighborhood and Business Services to provide sustainability education to residents and facilitate creation of neighborhood specific sustainability visions and actions plans to support the regional sustainability vision (Charlotte 2030).
- Partnering with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools to further integrate sustainability into the curriculum.
- Advising and assisting the Charlotte in 2012 staff as they prepare to host one of our nation’s highest profile events (the DNC) and ensure this event seizes our rare opportunity for Charlotte to raise global awareness of our commitment to sustainability through our actions.
- Advising and assisting with community engagement of under-represented communities in Charlotte as part of the development of a regional sustainable development plan in partnership with the Centralina Council of Governments and many other organizations across the region.
