A key climate change preparedness bill is being discussed in the Massachusetts House this week and it needs your support. The Comprehensive Adaptation Management Plan (CAMP) will:
- Help protect people and wildlife from climate change
- Safeguard our infrastructure
- Set an example of responsible climate action for the rest of the country to follow
Take action by calling your state representative in the House and tell them to support CAMP (HB2147).
Why Support CAMP?
Climate change is already affecting Massachusetts. Many of our communities are unprepared for rising seas, stronger storms, more dangerous heat waves, and myriad other challenges. CAMP would help them prepare.
CAMP will require the state to identify our people and places that are most vulnerable. It will help us prepare for a greater risk of natural disasters. It will establish new ways for municipalities to prosper in the face of climate change, and will encourage communities to work with willing landowners to reclaim and protect threatened areas.
The Massachusetts Senate has already passed the CAMP bill, the first of its kind in the United States, and it’s time for the Massachusetts House to do the same.
Call your state representative and tell them to send the rest of the country a powerful message that Massachusetts intends lead in the fight against climate change.
