Regional process goals are: 1) multi-level coordination and 2) inclusive planning. Selecting meaningful sustainability indicators Regional outcome goals are: 3) land reuse and for a specific geographic area is a complex redevelopment, 4) housing and transportation process requiring multiple selection criteria. affordability, and 5) equitable access to services, An effective suite of regional indicators is education, and living-wage jobs. To these five comprehensive, yet parsimonious, and includes “flagship” goals, the CRSC added three other both leading and lagging indicators. Additionally, regional sustainability goals: 6) natural resources each individual indicator is simple, meaningful, protection, 7) healthy food supply and access, and actionable, relevant, and timely (i.e., SMART).3 8) transportation choices.

The Capital Region Sustainability Consortium’s (CRSC) mission is to:5 “…protect the environment, provide efficient and cost-effective public services, ensure regional mobility, foster economic opportunity, provide diverse and equitable housing choices, and promote broad participation in planning and implementation.” CRSC’s participatory planning process enabled the consortium to collectively identify several “pathways” to advance regional sustainability priorities. These strategies – comprising a theory of change – involve actions that have multiple potential benefits, such as environmental quality (e.g., protecting essential ecosystem services), regional mobility (e.g., implementing a multi- modal transportation system), and social capacity (e.g., ensuring access to education and job- training). The final section of this report focuses on actions that local, county, and regional governments can take to advance sustainability within the Capital Region. These good governance initiatives – in conjunction with public-private partnerships – can help the region institutionalize policies, plans, and practices that will increase the Capital Region’s long-term resilience and sustainability. 5 Capital Region Sustainability Consortium. http://www. capitalregionscrpg.org/ Pathways to Regional Sustainability: Best Practices for Wisconsin’s Capital Region page v REGIONAL SUSTAINABILITY Wisconsin’s Capital Region is a complex system of interconnected social, economic, and CHALLENGES AND environmental systems, nested within an even OPORTUNITIES
