Across the state, cities and towns are moving from planning to pursue climate action to actually taking action! Municipalities working with citizen activists, volunteers, nonprofit organizations and businesses are taking bold steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase the use of renewable energy.
Many communities, like Amherst, have used the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness program to help fund the creation of a Climate Action Plan.

The following are some examples of programs already up and running (though some are imminent) that provide energy efficiency, renewable electricity, clean heating, microgrids and energy storage.
