Sustainability Guide

Whether residents, neighbors, businesses, and schools are just beginning to grasp the complexities of climate change or haven't yet heard about the RVAgreen 2050 plan, we're here to guide them on their journey toward achieving net-zero carbon emissions. We understand that change is a gradual process, so our approach is centered on meeting them where they are and progressing steadily every day.

We understand that addressing climate change can be confusing. Meaningful climate action means something different to everyone so we’ve compiled a Sustainability Guide to help Richmonders on their journey toward a more sustainable city. Our guide is broken out into the following 5 modules:

• Module 1: What is Sustainability, Climate Change, and Environmental Justice?

• Module 2: Introduction to RVAgreen 2050

• Module 3: Where Do I Start?

• Module 4: Building Your Toolboxes

• Module 5: Staying Connected and Getting Involved
