Sustainability Planning

We identify opportunities to incorporate resource sustainability across economic, operational, and long-term strategic plans.

Cascadia supports public and private sector agencies in shaping long-range sustainability plans that are progressive but practical, supported by communities and industry, and that will achieve the energy savings and emissions reductions that are required to meet sustainability goals. On these projects, we leverage our broad expertise and cross-cutting services to shape plans that link up initiatives across siloed departments at regional, state, and local levels.

Examples of our support include:

  • Community sustainability planning (e.g. cities, counties, tribes, states)
  • Corporate sustainability planning (e.g. local and global corporations)
  • Organizational sustainability planning (e.g. NGOs)
  • Institutional sustainability planning (e.g. universities, hospitals, large venues)
  • Industry sustainability planning (e.g. aviation sustainability strategies)
