Leaving a legacy of a city worthy of affection for many generations to come.

The City of San Diego Environmental Services Department (ESD) has taken a leadership role to advance policies and practices that support a more sustainable future. By working in concert with City Departments and the community, we are leaving a legacy of a city worthy of affection for many generations to come.

The San Diego Sustainable Community Program advances all aspects of more sustainable policies and procedures, and measures outcomes through a series of City Council-approved indicators (PDF: 17K) and a Climate Protection Action Plan. Primary target areas include energy efficiency and renewable energy, alternative vehicles and fuels, Environmental Management Systems (EMS), and public outreach and education.
