Boston is taking action to adapt to and prepare for the impacts of climate change.

In Boston, we experience the effects of climate change on a daily basis. Rising sea levels, stronger storms, and hotter days pose a threat to our city. The City released the Climate Ready Boston report in 2016, which evolved into the Climate Ready Boston initiative. Since 2016, Climate Ready Boston has completed coastal resilience plans for our entire 47-mile coastline as well as a citywide heat resilience plan.

Today, the Office of Climate Resilience and our partners in other departments are implementing climate resilience projects across the city to address coastal flooding, stormwater flooding, and extreme heat. Our webpage serves as a hub of information about Boston's citywide climate resilience work.
