While Connecticut does not have a single statewide strategic plan with measurable outcome goals, several statewide efforts exist, including the Interagency Council for Ending the Achievement Gap in education, the Interagency Council on Homelessness, and the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s 20 by 26 goals.
Another example is GreenerGov CT, a statewide effort to measure progress in environmental sustainability, by reducing energy use, water, waste, and greenhouse gas emissions while lowering operating costs for the state of Connecticut’s government facilities and operations. Connecticut’s state agencies have continued to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% below 2001 levels; reduce waste disposal by 25% from a 2020 baseline; reduce water consumption by 10% from a 2020 baseline; and set additional sub-goals by 2030. The state centralized collection of hundreds of thousands of utility bills from across the state’s operations and facilities to build the public-facing Data Dashboard. GreenerGovCT reports progress in the 2024 Progress Report.
