climate justice

A 62-page draft of the city of Boston’s 2030 Climate Action Plan, released this month, is the first official proposal from the city on the framework that will govern the city’s climate and environmental efforts for the next five years.

As colleges and universities across the Boston area celebrated the completion of degrees for their students, a cohort of local organizations celebrated a different kind of graduation — all in the name of climate justice.

On the seventh floor of Boston City Hall, there’s an office with windows facing out over the recently renovated plaza. Whiteboards are filled with scrawled notes and planning. Trophies and mementos and books line the shelves. Two buttons — one that says yes, the other no — sit on the desk ready to verbally voice agreement or dissent.
