Sustainability Principles
Sustainability is defined by a community's ability to meet the environmental, economic, and social equity needs
of today without reducing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. 
Dubuque is taking a holistic approach to making our community sustainable. Our model involves a three-part approach that looks at:
- Environmental and Ecological Integrity
- Economic Prosperity
- Social and Cultural Vibrancy
Each of these pieces is important individually and
helps contribute to a sustainable community.
Dubuque 2.0 Supports Sustainable Dubuque
In 2006 and every year since, Mayor Roy Buol and the Dubuque City Council have identified becoming a more Sustainable City as one of their top priorities for our community. At the call of the Mayor and City Council a Sustainability Task Force, comprised of over 40 community representatives, gathered public input and crafted Dubuque's Sustainability model and principles, which you see above.
