MA House Green Recovery Task Force

The MA House Green Recovery Task Force was created to address the needs of our clean energy economy as it recovers from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

.@The_BMC & @bluecrossma spoke with GRTF about the close connections between #climatechange and public health and the ways that the #MAhealthcare sector has stepped up as providers and employers to promote sustainability within their own companies and throughout the industry.

In its first meeting of 2021, GRTF met with members of @CeresNews Corporate EV Alliance to discuss the impact of #cleantransportation initiatives on the state's #emissionreduction and #economicrecovery goals, as well as existing barriers to private industry fleet electrification.

Today, the conf. committee finalized deliberations on the much-anticipated #2050roadmap bill. Much appreciation to Speaker @RonMariano and the members of the committee for getting this important piece of legislation to the floor. Together we can get MA to #NetZero. #ClimateAction

.@Nature_NE met with GRTF to discuss how nature-based solutions like "Greening Our Gateway Cities” can provide energy savings to vulnerable communities and bring quality-of-life improvements, while at the same time, creating jobs, reducing emissions, and improving resiliency.

Municipalities are on the front lines of #climateresiliency. @massmunicipal recently met with the task force to discuss which programs are making the biggest difference locally.

.@ClimateXChange met with the Task Force to illustrate how detailed modeling and analysis of green initiatives can help states make informed investments that maximize public health, economic, and climate benefits.

As federal conversations around recovery and stimulus funds continue, @SEIA urged the Task Force to consider investments in distributed energy generation.

Developing a skilled and diverse workforce is essential to the Commonwealth's economic recovery. @GreentownLabs has partnered with @MassCEC to develop and accelerate opportunities that will incentivize green entrepreneurs to bring their expertise and capital to Massachusetts.

Regional planning groups like @MAPCMetroBoston serve
as an important link between state policy-makers and the municipalities they impact, breaking big picture issues into actionable initiatives to improve housing and infrastructure, and promote #workforcedevelopment.

Even w/ significant economic disruption from pandemic, our long-term work toward net-zero emissions & home-grown clean energy continues. This week’s approval of #MayflowerWind will add 804MW of clean energy & generate $2.4B in economic activity - a win-win for #greenrecovery.

The longer it takes to respond to the #climatecrisis,
the harder it will be to manage. Grassroots #climateadvocacy groups like @350Mass & the Chelmsford/Westford Climate Action Team help identify green initiatives to push us in the right direction. #mapoli

@McDonalds, like most businesses, has had to make changes in day-day operations in response to #COVID19. They encouraged the GRTF to adopt policy incentivizing the private sector to invest in recycling, carbon reduction & programs that support diverse workforce education.

Green infrastructure investments = job growth. @MassCEC prioritizes funding for "shovel ready projects” in #offshorewind , transportation, and #netzero grid development that will make a direct impact on the communities that they are built on.

MA's electricity isn’t produced in a vacuum - our electric grid depends on coordination among multiple sectors & states through orgs like @NEPowerGen. A regional approach to green recovery will help us get to #netzero
