Acting like world leaders in deciding how to address climate change, Bromfield students and community members worked together in teams to explore dozens of policies that impact climate change. They selected some, and used the simulator to understand the worldwide impact their decisions likely make.
Our organization is driven by a dedicated team of volunteers. We offer a variety of ways to get involved, from committee positions to project-based assistance. If you’re looking to contribute your skills and time, we welcome you to join us!
At the October 16, 2021 Town Meeting, a clear majority of the citizens of Harvard voted for The Climate Initiative Town Resolution. The resolution acknowledges the impact of climate change on our town, supports the state’s goal to reduce greenhouse emissions by 80% by 2050, and requires that the town consider environmental impact in municipal “purchases, public projects, processes, and policies.”
On Dec 6 2022, the Select Board unanimously voted to approve a Climate Action Plan for the town. This plan was developed by the Climate Initiative Committee in conjunction with several other boards and committees in town.
