Focused on improving MA's GHG profile and in concert with the many good efforts of the state and our partners, ELM convenes the Global Warming Solutions Project (GWSP).
GWSP is a multi-member, cross-sector climate initiative that exists to bring together a diverse set of stakeholders who are committed to achieving the aggressive emissions reduction targets set forth under the Massachusetts Global Warming Solutions Act (2008) in a serious and comprehensive way. Together, we believe that by playing a leadership role and highlighting success, Massachusetts will continue to be a model to other states, regions, and the country.
In addition to coordinating joint action and advocacty in support of the state's climate plan, the GWSP network monitors progress of plan implementation. It has prioritized key complementary policies and programs integral to significantly reducing the state's carbon footprint.
