The Race to Zero Emissions: MA Next Generation Climate Law and Clean Energy & Climate Plan
The League of Women Voters of Massachusetts Environmental Action and Advocacy Committee hosted a discussion about the new Massachusetts climate legislation with John Rogers from the Union of Concerned Scientists, and Matt Rusteika from the Acadia Center.
