About the organization
Sustainable Peterborough (SP) is a regional partnership comprised of community groups, businesses, educational institutions, local governments and First Nations, jointly funded and overseen by the City of Peterborough and Peterborough County, and governed by Peterborough & the Kawarthas Economic Development (PKED). SP’s new Strategic Plan is focused on helping the community implement and track progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is aligned with PKED’s Future Ready Regional Economic Development Strategy, which identifies five SDGs as priorities for the region to achieve the vision of seeing Peterborough & the Kawarthas become the most sustainable and innovative community and economy in Ontario. Utilizing the SDG framework also provides an opportunity for SP to continue the vital local SDG work conducted through the 2019-2021 Community Forum led by Kawartha World Issues Centre and GreenUP. SP speaks to the importance of highlighting and celebrating local examples of how communities or municipalities are helping advance the SDGs, whether by creating Voluntary Local Reviews or creatively tracking and reframing already occurring efforts within the SDG framework.
