Overview
The Mayor's Office of Sustainability (MOS) leads Cleveland’s efforts to create a greener, more resilient, and equitable city. Through strong partnerships with residents, businesses, and city departments, we work to advance climate action, reduce the city’s carbon footprint, and build healthier, more sustainable neighborhoods.
Best known as Sustainable Cleveland, our office develops policies and drives initiatives that integrate sustainability into both city operations and the broader community. By embedding sustainability into everyday decision-making, we aim to enhance the quality of life for all Clevelanders—now and for future generations.
Through sustainable and equitable actions, community advocacy, and forward-thinking policies, MOS is shaping a more just and climate-ready future for our city.
Sustainable Cleveland has grown in scope due to the determination of residents, businesses, and community members to help shape vibrant communities, innovate, collaborate, and restore Cleveland’s flourishing natural environment. While there is much to celebrate, we must continue to accelerate progress by continuing to implement climate goals and scaling up success.
Climate Action in Cleveland
As a legacy city with a rich industrial past, Cleveland has long been at the forefront of the environmental movement—and we will continue taking bold and equitable action 
to combat climate change and protect public health and safety.
Under the leadership of Mayor Justin M. Bibb, and guided by a deep commitment to environmental justice, Cleveland is building a cleaner, healthier, and more resilient future for all residents.
The City is working toward net-zero emissions by 2050 through investments in clean energy, expanded green infrastructure, and community-driven climate solutions.
These efforts are grounded in equity, ensuring that every neighborhood benefits from climate progress, block by bloc. With Mayor Bibb serving as Co-Chair of America Is All In, Cleveland continues to lead both locally and nationally, reaffirming its commitment to climate action—no matter the political climate.
