Mission Statement

This committee is to advise and support the Select Board on energy and climate matters. The Committee will work to protect and enhance the Town's safety, health, natural assets and fiscal stability by enhancing community understanding and engagement in the climate crisis, by developing and recommending emergency and adaptation strategies that will strengthen the Town's resilience and by establishing goals and policy leading to increased sustainability and greatly reduced reliance on extracted resources.

The committee will review and make recommendations of rules, regulations and policies affecting Energy and Climate. The committee will act as a liaison to share and integrate the plans and policies developed by the town and the island's over-all Climate Action Plan team.
