Sustainable Recovery Practices

Sustainable recovery practices are strategies used to rebuild and improve communities after a crisis—such as a natural disaster or economic downturn—while prioritizing environmental health, social equity, and economic stability. These practices aim to create resilient systems that minimize environmental impact, support local communities, and promote long-term well-being. This can include using eco-friendly materials, supporting local businesses, involving community members in decision-making, and planning developments that reduce future risks. Overall, sustainable recovery seeks to restore vitality in a way that benefits people, the planet, and prosperity for future generations.
