The City of Concord Sustainability is dedicated to fostering sustainable practices to promote the health and resiliency of our community using innovative and holistic approaches in meeting the need of current and future generations through mindful stewardship of our shared resources.

What is sustainability?

Sustainability, in the most basic terms, is simply conserving economic, environmental and social resources for the future. It is meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable development can be facilitated by policies and practices that integrate environmental, economic, and social values in decision making. In keeping with the City of Concord’s Core Values, elected officials and staff work daily toward the best possible future for Concord and its citizens.
