Massachusetts Sierra Club Hosts Culminating Climate Leadership Summit for Local Leaders From Cities and Towns Across the State

Massachusetts Sierra Club Chapter Director Deb Pasternak issued the following statement:

“Municipal leaders are stepping up their efforts on climate, learning from each other, and building a network while they do it. As federal environmental regulations continue to be threatened or rolled back, we are thrilled to be hosting these Climate Leadership Summits. Local officials are leaving our Summits further educated and empowered to take action in their own communities to protect our air, our water, and our lands from the threats of climate change. Public officials can help give the people what they want: clean energy, climate justice, and a livable planet.”
