Somerville is a dynamic, ever-evolving city. One constant, though, is how we unite as a community when challenges arise. Now, our resilience is being tested by climate change. 


In the face of disruptions – whether economic, public health, or environmental – our shared values of creativity, innovation, and inclusivity help us persevere. Together we will transform Somerville into SustainaVille – a city that works together to take bold steps to slow climate change while ensuring we are a diverse and vibrant community where all people thrive.  


To facilitate that transformation, the City of Somerville is updating its climate action plan, Climate Forward. This plan was developed in 2018 and established 13 priority strategies for a more sustainable and climate resilient community. As Climate Forward was designed to be updated every five years, it's now time to update the plan with community feedback and more recent climate data to reassess our priorities and identify strategies to accomplish our climate goals.
