Background

The Climate Action and Resilience Coalition (CARC) started meeting in January 2021 to begin work on a Climate Action and Resilience Plan for our town. A Climate Action Plan Resolution was unanimously approved at Swampscott's Town Meeting in May 2022. In December 2022, the Select Board established a formal Climate Action Plan Committee (CAPC). CAPC includes residents, high school students, and members of the Renewable Energy Committee and the Swampscott Conservancy.
