In addition to the above climate action targets, the Division aligns its work with the following plans and strategies: • The Internal Decarbonization Plan, adopted in October 2023 • The Sustainability Action Plan, adopted in June 2020 • The Community Decarbonization Plan • The City Council Work Plan and Strategic Priorities • The Comprehensive Plan The year 2024 was both productive and transitional for the Division. The team celebrated meaningful progress while also navigating staffing changes, including the addition of a new Sustainability Specialist to the Louisville team. Continuing in 2025, the Division is excited about incorporating a sustainability lens at the policy level and supporting several new initiatives led by both internal and external partners. If there are any questions about this memo or if further details about the Division's work are desired, please contact Deputy City Manager Samma Fox. The Sustainability Division sincerely thanks City Council for its continued support of sustainability programming and initiatives. 1 of 13 JULY 2025 5
