The Sustainable Wheat Ridge Committee published the city's first Sustainability Action Plan in June of 2018. The main goal of this plan is to make Wheat Ridge a more sustainable community. The plan provides goals and actions the city can take to do so.

Between January and October 2024, City staff, Sustainable Wheat Ridge, and consultant Lotus Engineering and Sustainability worked to complete the first update to the 2018 action plan. On October 14, 2024 the Wheat Ridge City Council officially adopted the 2024 Sustainability Action Plan Update: A Five Year Roadmap meant to guide sustainability efforts in Wheat Ridge over the next five years.

The updated action plan is broken down into eight focus areas: Communications & Engagement, Green Building & Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Solid Waste & Recycling, Transportation, Water, Arts & Culture, and Businesses & Jobs.
