Wellesley Launches a Climate Action Plan with Actions to Meet Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goals

The Town of Wellesley’s new Climate Action Plan is a thoughtful roadmap for the future of our community and its residents. Launched this month after more than a year of work, the Plan outlines specific actions Wellesley will take to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change and to build resilience to climate change impacts.

The much-anticipated Climate Action Plan was developed with community-wide input and is organized along six pathways: Governance, Energy, Buildings, Mobility, Natural Resources, and Waste. Goals, strategies and actions are spelled out for each pathway. Several of the Plan’s action steps are already underway! To view the complete list of actions within each pathway, visit Climate Action Plan.
