Environmental Action Agenda
The City of Seattle has emerged as a national leader in raising awareness
and inspiring action in the fight against climate disruption. The 2006-2007
Environmental Action Agenda recounts the successes and lays out next steps on climate protection, in addition to detailing the City's work in restoring
and protecting our valuable urban forest. The Agenda also spells out the City's
efforts to rebuild wetlands and natural drainage systems, restore creeks, and protect water quality. Finally, the Agenda outlines the ways the City
is making neighborhoods--and people--healthier through "green" building
programs and development that promotes walking, cycling and transit use.
Starting in 1998, the City's Environmental Management Program was initiated to provide an overarching framework to systematically reduce the environmental impacts of the City's operations.

The EAA goes beyond the City's operations to consider broader community sustainability issues and is organized into 4 priority areas:
