Sustainability Goals

M-NCPPC, Department of Parks and Recreation, aims to conserve and protect the natural spaces and species that call Prince George’s County home. The Department is committed to following the tenants of One Planet Living, an international framework designed to create a world where everyone, everywhere lives happy, healthy lives within the limits of the planet, leaving space for nature.

There are three pillars of sustainability—environmental, social, and economic. Through the Department’s creation of new parks, local jobs, and access to green spaces, we are already contributing to the three pillars of sustainability; but we know we can build upon our successes. The Sustainability Action Plan helps to guide steps forward to a brighter future for all, be they persons, plants, animals, or insects.

What is the goal? 

Due to the impact and effects of climate change on the community, M-NCPPC, Department of Parks and Recreation will implement effective solutions to some of the greatest challenges by impacting area stormwater, increasing air quality in and around parks, and providing residents and visitors with opportunities to truly connect with the natural world.
