Newark Strategic Plan 2019-2024

The Sustainable Newark plan outlines an ambitious journey to foster a sustainable future, built around four core goals: responding to climate change, planning and developing for everyone, building better while wasting less, and preserving nature by reducing environmental impact. The plan aims to achieve a resilient, inclusive, and environmentally responsible city, with over 85% of its 109 sustainability goals achieved or underway. Key outcomes include significant reductions in municipal emissions, expanded renewable energy adoption, enhanced sustainable transportation, and green infrastructure development. Future efforts will focus on a climate action plan, strengthening partnerships, and securing funding for sustainability initiatives.
