Sustainable Communities Network 

We invite you to join the Sustainable Communities Network and get connected to actionable climate and sustainability solutions! In the Sustainable Communities Network, you’ll connect with climate and sustainability experts and people like you working on solutions that support a resilient and sustainable future for our region.

Goals:

1. Connect people to actionable solutions to create more sustainable communities, now and in the future.

2. Build relationships across the region with each other and with the people and organizations creating positive change in their own communities.

3. Champion success stories and innovative projects that can be supported or replicated in other communities.

The topics and goals of the group are grounded in both the Minnesota Region 4 Climate Action Plan and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that are part of our strategic framework.
