Boston Planning and Development Agency Boston Sustainable Development and Green Buildings Retrofitting our Residence: Beyond Fossil Fuel June 7, 2017 John Dalzell
Green Building and Sustainable Development Leadership Transformation Innovation Vision - Carbon Neutral by 2050 "Withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement isn't just a setback, it's irresponsible. This damages our nation's reputation as an international leader and puts future generations at risk to the threat of climate change. Boston will not standby given what's at stake. We are committed to addressing climate change head on and will accelerate Boston's efforts to become carbon neutral by 2050. Fighting climate change means fighting for all those affected by worsening air quality, extreme heat, eroding coastlines -- issues that will continue to impact residents for generations to come. As Mayor, I will continue to work with U.S. Mayors and cities around the world to uphold the tenets of the Paris climate agreement and protect Boston against the very real impacts of climate change." Mayor Martin J. Walsh
