Boston officials introduced a comprehensive 2030 Climate Action Plan designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for climate impacts. The plan outlines specific emissions reduction goals, including a target of reducing citywide emissions by 60% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Key strategies include electrifying school bus fleets and enhancing coastal protection. Buildings are responsible for about 70% of emissions, prompting ongoing efforts to implement regulations that target building emissions. The final Climate Action Plan will be released in Fall 2025, focusing on equity in climate action.
Boston's ambitious climate roadmap sets clear emissions reduction goals: cutting citywide emissions by 60% in 2030 and achieving net-zero by 2050.
Buildings contribute nearly 70% of Boston's carbon emissions, primarily due to reliance on fossil fuels for heating and electricity.
The city aims to address climate justice by implementing measures that tackle inequities faced by vulnerable communities within climate action initiatives.
A significant aspect of the Climate Action Plan involves electrifying the Boston Public Schools' bus fleet to meet emission reduction commitments.
