Sustainability can be defined as taking care of the needs of
the present generation without compromising the ability to
meet the needs of future generations. It also can be defined
as the intersection between three principals; environmental
stewardship, economic health; and social justice. The Sustainable Santa Fe Plan acknowledges all three of these principles by incorporating values beyond just the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to looking at how the City of Santa Fe can reduce it’s contribution to GHG emissions, the Sustainable Santa Fe Plan addresses how the City can prepare to be more resilient to respond to the impacts of global warming on the community. It also anticipates effects higher fuel prices rise, possible reductions in the availability of potable water that are expected to result in the coming years. The Sustainable Santa Fe Plan addresses more than just greenhouse gas emissions. It looks to the history and culture of Santa Fe and incorporates other values of this community. By doing this, it takes a plan that would normally have a single focus and uses it as a catalyst to promote “community sustainability” by also considering other social and economic goals. It attempts to distribute the benefits and costs of moving towards sustainability in an equitable way. |
