Sustainable development in Illinois encounters challenges in balancing resource demand with responsible management. Transitioning to sustainable infrastructure involves substantial investment and planning, including upgrading existing structures for energy efficiency and developing new systems. Addressing these challenges requires collaboration among governments, businesses, communities, and individuals committed to a more sustainable future.
As an integral element of our commitment to bolster technical assistance and education for communities, University of Illinois Extension offers the Thriving Communities webinar series. This series seeks to empower communities by guiding them through federal grant application systems related to energy and the environment, offering insights on community inclusion, and facilitating community-specific strategic planning. The primary objective of this outreach is to assist communities in proficiently acquiring and managing funds to tackle legacy pollution issues and facilitate investments in cutting-edge clean energy technologies.
