Questions on Boston's Climate Action Answered

Mayor Walsh's Civic Academy returns for a second session. This time examining the city's environment and energy department's work on creating a Climate Action Plan for the City of Boston.

The Climate Action Plan will provide tangible steps and a long-term vision for making Boston greener, healthier, and more prosperous. From creating local and clean energy, to preparing for climate disasters like Superstorm Sandy, to making sure Boston waste gets recycled and reused, the strategies of the Climate Action Plan are the result of over a year of public process and thousands of personal interactions with Bostonians. Come hear about the Climate Action Plan and ask questions on:

Monday November 17th 6:30-8:00 pm

In a continued effort to bring more transparency and accessibility to city government, Mayor Walsh created the Civic Academy Program; with the goal of delivering a wider range of information to all residents in Boston, representatives from various departments as well as cabinet members will be in attendance to answer questions and engage with residents. 

Please call the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services with any questions or concerns about the Civic Academy Program at 617-635-3485.
