Hold Your Massachusetts Reps Accountable to Meeting Greenhouse Gas Emission Goals

The Next Generation Roadmap Act is one of the strongest climate laws in the nation. It requires the Commonwealth to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by 2030, a mere eight years away. This is both a monumental task and an imperative one. Reaching that target will set us on a trajectory to net zero emissions by 2050.

The law must now be implemented, and we need to hold our elected and appointed officials accountable for reaching our mandated greenhouse gas reductions.

To make sure we are on track, the Environmental League of Massachusetts (ELM) will be monitoring deadlines included in the law to determine if we are meeting them or lagging behind.

You can check the status of whether deadlines are being met on ELM’s website . And when they are not met, contact your state reps and hold them accountable!
