Many Metro departments contribute to the city’s sustainability and environmental stewardship efforts. The Mayor’s Office has created this dashboard to build an understanding of current environmental, sustainability, and resilience activities, priorities, and goals, and measurement of progress in achieving those goals, with the aim of increasing transparency and accountability. Measuring current and future indicators in these areas is foundational to highlighting the need for action and documenting measured improvement.
