The Acton Climate Coalition comprises organizations, businesses, and individuals bringing bold and effective climate action to the Acton, Massachusetts community.
Current and future projects include:
Building with Clean Energy
The work that we started in 2021 to advance the Town’s ability to require clean, non-fossil-fuel energy in new buildings and major rehabilitation projects continued at the 2023 Town Meeting with the passage of Articles 12 and 13.
EnergizeActon.org
A way to get more households and building owners involved in reducing/eliminating their carbon emissions and advocating for climate action
Acton Clean Energy Coaching Program
Members of the coalition are working with the Town of Acton and Abode Energy Management to offer trained coaches to residents and building owners to learn about, plan for, and initiate actions for our clean energy future
Past Projects
For the Spring 2022 Town Meeting we worked on strengthening support for the Climate Action Plan: Mobilizing Acton’s Climate Action Plan: a better future starting now.
At the Spring 2021 Town Meeting, and again at the Spring 2023 Town Meeting, we successfully passed two warrant articles that advanced the Town’s ability to require clean, non-fossil-fuel energy in new buildings and major rehabilitation projects.
The Acton Climate Coalition formed in the Spring of 2020. Our initial project was to pass a resolution at the Fall 2020 Special Town Meeting — Declaring a Climate Emergency: A Better Future Starting Now
Members
