Sustainability Leaders Collaborative

The Sustainability Leaders Collaborative (SLC) is a partnership of cities, towns, villages, and school districts across the county focused on climate change. The purpose is to facilitate collaboration, enabling all Dane County communities to achieve their sustainability goals by sharing resources and working together to reduce emissions and increase resiliency.

The SLC's strategic priorites include:

1. Solar development
2. Renewable fuel usage for municipal fleets
3. Energy efficiency and sustainability for facilities 
4. Green infrastructure to manage run-off from heavy rain events

The SLC holds virtual and in-person events on topics of interest to local communities. If you are part of a local government and have a topic you would like to see addressed, let us know.
