Climate Ready Boston is the City of Boston’s initiative to prepare for the impacts of climate change. The 2016 Climate Ready Boston report assessed Boston’s climate vulnerabilities, including increased precipitation, sea level rise, and extreme heat, and identified initiatives to build resilience across neighborhoods, infrastructure, and buildings.

The report set the foundation for the City’s ongoing climate adaptation activities and included:

» Updated projections of climate change in Boston;

» More detailed vulnerability assessment of the city and specific focus areas; and

» Principles, strategies, and initiatives to achieve the City’s climate preparedness goals.

Climate change is real for Bostonians. We’ve all seen hotter summers and flooding during winter storms, nor'easters, and King Tides. The City is paying attention to science. We’re also preparing for the impacts of climate change.

We can protect our coastal community by creating resilient, accessible open spaces, and prepared buildings and infrastructure.
