Climate Action Plan survey will soon be available

By Theresa Knapp 
A new Climate Action Plan survey is expected to go live any day. 
As of press time, the survey was not available but was expected to be “launched in February.” 
According to the CAP website, “A Climate Action Plan is a comprehensive roadmap developed by municipalities, other government agencies, businesses, or organizations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. It outlines specific projects, programs, and policies to create a more sustainable and resilient community. These plans include strategies pertaining to a range of topics such as renewable energy, electric vehicles, building energy efficiency, waste reduction, natural resource management, flood mitigation, community building, and much more.”
At a meeting of the Holliston Select Board on Feb. 10, Town Manager Travis Ahern said, “The Climate Action Plan, if we can get that updated and finalized is going to be a major step forward to give to a new [Regional] Sustainability Coordinator…It’s a big deal for the group that has been pushing that.”
