Framework for Community Sustainability: Ten Ingredients for Long-Term Success

The Framework for Community Sustainability provides ten ingredients for sustainable governance, arguing that community, economy, and environment are complementary rather than competing interests. It aims to help community decision makers weave sustainability into the fabric of their local governance across public, private, and nonprofit sectors.

• The framework is based on the premise that the environment, economy, and community are complementary components of a single whole rather than competing interests.
