The Sustainable Neighborhood Network provides local governments with a unique model to advance neighborhood climate action and empower residents to create sustainable and resilient communities. The network oversees the successful adoption, implementation and maintenance of the Sustainable Neighborhoods Program in communities.
Intended to encourage direct citizen action, the Sustainable Neighborhood Program provides support to neighborhoods in order to assist citizens in enhancing neighborhood sustainability and reducing the environmental footprint of residents. Neighborhoods in the certification program earn credits for participation and for achieving project goals.
