Somerville Publishes Climate Forward!
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Climate Forward plan update process! The City is excited to publish Climate Forward. Our vision for a climate forward Somerville is an equitable, carbon-net negative, resilient, and thriving community.
Climate Forward is Somerville’s plan to creating a strong, healthy community in the face of climate change while simultaneously reducing climate pollution, also referred to as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and our dependence on fossil fuels.
This plan establishes 5 key focus areas and 77 actions. It lays out new priorities and strategies that will be implemented through 2035 across different sectors, including energy, buildings, natural resources, mobility, waste, and community health.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Office of Sustainability and Environment at ose@somervillema.gov if you have any questions and stay up to date with implementation through the monthly SustainaVille Newsletter.
