Our Mission

Promoting a healthy, sustainable community through partnerships, policy, and smart solutions.

In order to accomplish the mission of the GOC the following goals were identified:

1. Education: Achieve broad and deep community understanding of the value, methods, and benefits of conservation and environmental sustainability.
2. Advocacy: Successfully foster the creation and adoption of policies and practices that enhance environmental sustainability throughout the community.
3. Leadership:Through program development lead the greater Omaha community to embrace integrated, sustainable practices and behaviors across the environmental, social-cultural, technological, economic, and public policy realms.
4. Healthy Communities: Ensure that greater Omaha is an exemplary “green,” livable community through the adoption and practice of smart and sustainable conservation practices.

Primarily the GOC intends to accomplish its mission through leadership and coalition building with public and private sector entities and residents as a whole – fostering collaboration with key stakeholders in the community to accelerate the adoption of green practices, policies, and programs.

Partnering with the city government, educational facilities, public agencies, the private sector, and non-profit groups, the GOC will provide education, information, technical assistance and training.
