WHY A SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
One of Yolo County's strategic goals is "A Sustainable Environment", which serves to focus the County's energy on comprehensively planning its environmental roadmap for the future. The development of the Sustainability Plan was designed to support this goal by assessing and highlighting existing sustainability programs and processes; identifying gaps, inconsistencies, and opportunities to become a more sustainable community; and serving as a tool for the decision-makers and community members in charting a path to the future.

ABOUT THE 2021 SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
In collaboration with stakeholders, community groups, and the public at large, Yolo County has prepared this Sustainability Plan. The plan is intended to serve as a tool for County decision makers and the public to advance sustainability goals that build upon prior and ongoing countywide sustainability efforts, focusing on targets within eight key Sustainability Elements: ecological health, water, air quality, buildings, waste, local food, agriculture, and education. The plan should be considered a 'living document' that will be evaluated and updated over the course of implementation, in line with science and technological advances.
