The Plan outlines the most urgent climate change impacts in Massachusetts and establishes cross-government and state agency actions to address them. The actions include the creation of the Office of Climate Science, which the speaker is a member of. The speaker will share how this office serves to empower state and municipal agencies in their climate resilience planning/projects. Some examples include providing high-resolution climate data and offering technical assistances. Finally, the speaker will reflect on how those with STEM and non-STEM backgrounds alike can contribute to climate resilience in Massachusetts.
