The current severe
fiscal challenge facing local governments presents an
opportunity to reimagine how Wisconsin communities look and
function. Communities moving beyond the traditional “silo”
approach to problem solving will create solutions that
simultaneously address economic, social and environmental
challenges while building on unique local assets
and
resources. Building a More Sustainable Future in
Wisconsin presents the findings and recommendations from
the 2010 Sustainable Communities Public
Policy Forum.

The University of Wisconsin - Extension Sustainability Team
established and maintains this website to provide resources for
local governments, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and
individuals interesting in building their capacity to engage in
sustainable community development. While the site focuses on
community-based sustainability efforts in Wisconsin, and
eco-municipalities in particular, it also provides other
resources in the areas of economic development, planning and
land use, energy and climate change, agriculture and natural
resources, consumer choices, and community stories. The site’s
Tool Box provides additional resources related to a range of
topics and efforts connected to community sustainability.
