Created in July of 2018, the Ann Arbor Office of Sustainability and Innovations (OSI) strives to work with all Ann Arborites to ensure Ann Arbor is the most sustainable and equitable City in America. Below we outline OSI's vision, mission, and guiding goals.
Vision
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Ann Arbor residents, government officials, and community members, Ann Arbor is the most sustainable and equitable community in America.
Mission
The mission of the Office of Sustainability and Innovations is to create and implement programs and policies that improve the well-being, equity, sustainability, and resilience of all Ann Arborites.
Guiding Goals
The City created the Office of Sustainability and Innovations in 2018 as a testament to its commitment to climate action and sustainability. Working in tandem with dozens of community groups and hundreds of community stakeholders, our Office has created A2ZERO, a bold strategy to achieve community-wide carbon neutrality by 2030. Guiding the work of OSI are the following, overarching, goals:
