Victoria's Sustainability Vision
Sustainability is the ability of all species to live within the means of one planet and share resources equitably.
Victoria, as a community and municipal corporation, is an urban sustainability leader inspiring innovation, pride and progress towards greater ecological integrity, livability, economic vitality, and community resiliency confronting the changes facing society and the planet today and for generations to come.
Sustainability is about building a better, more resilient city for future generations. Sustainability is based on three inter-related concepts:
- Social Well-being and Livability: the social and cultural assets of the community that create and celebrate quality of life, and support human health, security, and overall well-being.
- Environmental Integrity: the ability to sustain and renew the health of the natural environment and its ongoing capacity to produce resources necessary to urban life.
- Economic Vitality: the ongoing capacity to generate and renew the skills, finances, and productivity of the community providing the means to support quality of life and realize individual and community aspirations.
