ABOUT THE EFFORT
The City of Boston aims to be carbon neutral by 2050, as well as resilient to the greatest climate threats. To support these efforts the Green Ribbon Commission and over 40 of Boston’s world class arts, history, sports, and entertainment organizations have partnered together to launch the Action Pact Boston campaign. Arts and culture have the power to open people's minds and help people see things in new ways. Our goal is to harness that power and encourage a sustained focus on visioning and achieving a climate-safe future.
