Naperville Environment & Sustainability Task Force (NEST)

Mission Statement  The Naperville Environment & Sustainability Task Force (NEST) assists, informs, and advises City government and Naperville residents and businesses to identify, prioritize, and implement sustainability initiatives and greenhouse gas reduction, with the goal of creating a sustainable, resilient, carbon-free future for Naperville.

Our 15 Year Vision  Our Sustainable Naperville 2036 is a 15 year vision that recommends incremental transitioning to a cleaner, more efficient, less wasteful, environmentally robust, economically sound and just, healthy, inclusive, resilient community. Its intention is that a multi-stakeholder, community-wide sustainability and climate resilience plan will be collectively created and established as a living document that can be modified as necessary when scientific targets change, technology evolves, crises arise, or resources availability is altered.

Our History  NEST began as a small group of Naperville citizens working together for clean energy in Naperville. Over time, we expanded our scope and in 2019, we became an official Task Force of the City of Naperville.

The Naperville Environment and Sustainability Task Force (NEST) is a group of concerned citizens working together to create a climate action plan as a roadmap for Naperville to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through 2040.
