The Coastal Resilience Working Group convenes cross-sector representatives to support the City of Boston as it prepares for the impacts of climate change on Boston’s coastline. The group offers a forum for members to deliver input into Boston’s coastal resilience plans, governance issues, and financing strategies, among various topics.
The Coastal Resilience Working Group has been responsible for several key analyses and reports, including the Climate Ready Boston Report, which together have provided essential research to the City of Boston and influenced the city’s Climate Action Plan.
