Getting to Net Zero

The Next Generation Roadmap Act requires MA to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by 2030. In January 2023, Climate Chief Hoffer published her recommendations on how we can get there.

To make sure we are on track, we are monitoring deadlines included in both the Next Generation Roadmap Act and the Climate Chief’s Report to determine if we are meeting them or lagging behind.
