Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh has launched Sustainable Syracuse, a new initiative to reduce the city's carbon footprint and build climate resilience. The program is designed to help the community address environmental challenges and move toward a greener, more sustainable future.
The City received $100,000 from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to support planning and development efforts. That includes work on a greenhouse gas inventory and a climate action plan, led by Syracuse’s Division of Planning and Sustainability in partnership with C&S Companies.
Mayor Walsh announced the program at SUNY ESF’s Gateway Center during Earth Week celebrations. The launch also honored longtime ESF professor Emanuel Carter and highlighted Syracuse’s ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability into city planning.
