Sustainability & Environment

The City of Bath has a strong record and long-standing commitment to sustainability. The Office of Sustainability and Environment was created in 2022 to integrate sustainable practices into municipal operations, infrastructure, services and policies. The Office of Sustainability and Environment is responsible for incorporating City Council’s Strategic Goals and City Resolutions pertaining to sustainability within the City.

To accomplish these goals the Office works with the Climate Action Commission (and other aligned municipal committees), Municipal Departments and Staff.

When faced with challenges, our community remains strong: this is Bath. As a city that still builds ships on the same river as we did 200 years ago, resilience has always been a part of our community.

The impacts of climate change are nothing new to Bath residents; we have all experienced more intense storms, increased flooding, and unprecedented seasonal temperature changes in our community.

 The Resilient Bath Plan lays out smart, practical strategies to continue our path towards a more sustainable and resilient future.
