Sustainability Planning Toolkit

Sustainability Planning Toolkit Banner

 

ICLEI's Sustainability Planning Toolkit, based on the model pioneered by City of New York's PlaNYC, contains comprehensive, step-by-step guidance to develop a sustainability plan for cities, towns, and counties of all sizes. It follows a proven, straightforward, and flexible process to create a successful, long-term plan that brings together environmental, economic, and social initiatives under one holistic vision to improve the livability of communities and create lasting benefits.

The toolkit is available only to ICLEI member local governments. If your municipality is not a member, learn more about the benefits of joining. There are two ways to access the toolkit: Download it to your desktop or bookmark this page and view the toolkit online.
