Purpose

Working together to develop actions to reduce, mitigate and adapt to climate change.

The Task Force is charged with developing a strategy and work plan for establishing a baseline for the Town’s current emissions, for recommending reduction targets, for identifying new strategies for reductions and energy efficiency, and for recommending ways in which these strategies can be incorporated into the Town’s economic development and planning efforts.
