As the Boston mayoral race heads to the primary on September 14, how can the next mayor equitably and rapidly accelerate the city’s clean energy transition to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change and fossil fuel emissions for the city and region? A new whitepaper published today by the Boston Area Research Initiative (BARI) in partnership with the local academic and nonprofit communities, including ISE experts, recommends six near-term opportunities for early leadership on clean energy. It’s part of a four-paper series created by the BARI to help advise the next mayor about the challenges confronting Boston in transportation, public safety, clean energy, and housing.
Description
This White Paper series was
created by the Boston Area
Research Initiative (BARI), a
network of research institutions
and experts, to provide our city’s
next mayor with the perspective
of members of our academic
community. We stand ready
to assist the mayor as experts,
residents and stakeholders in
Boston’s future.
Papers were invited and reflect
the views of the authors. They
are not intended to reflect the
views of their institutions, nor
BARI members generally.
Special thanks to Katharine Lusk
at Boston University, Dan O’Brien
at Northeastern University, and
Michael Johnson at the University
of Massachusetts Boston for their
roles in spearheading this effort.
