Aurora is moving forward with sustainability plans through its advisory board, even while some say the city is not moving quickly enough.
Alex Minella, of the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development, said recently that there is “not a cookie-cutter” plan for sustainability, and that it differs from “city to city, county to county.” The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines sustainability by saying that “everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment.
In 2020, the city joined the Green Power Partnership for emissions reduction, and in 2023 endorsed the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus Climate Action Plan, which has a goal of reducing emissions through the region by 80% by 2050. Christina Murphy, chair of the Sustainable Advisory Board to the Mayor, told the City Council at its recent Committee of the Whole meeting that the city had made some strides during the last year.
