Sustainable Salt Lake – Plan 2015 (Salt Lake City, Utah)
Sustainable Salt Lake was developed by Salt Lake City Green, the outreach arm of Salt Lake City’s Sustainability Division. This comprehensive plan outlines goals and strategies to achieve increased community sustainability, social justice, and neighborhood and downtown vitality by the end of Mayor Ralph Becker’s second term in 2015.
Along with mitigation targets to reduce GHGs, the plan sets goals to improve air quality, and to protect the community from dust, smoke, and ozone pollution due to warmer temperatures and droughts. The process for attaining these goals is described in the section “Air Quality and Climate Change.”
