Our Vision:

Both the City of Boston and Commonwealth of Massachusetts have set overarching climate-oriented goals to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, that will require an all-hands-on-deck effort across sectors. The Boston Foundation is committed to using our tools for impact to help accelerate progress towards these net-zero goals and ensure that equity is centered in this clean transition.

Our Work:

We support work that builds more resilient infrastructure and systems to protect the wellbeing of communities that are on the frontline of climate change impacts.
