Boston's Sustainability Initiatives

The Mayor's Green Awards program recognizes that citizens and business owners play an important role in advancing the city's sustainability agenda.

Boston has been recognized as the 6th most sustainable city in the nation by SustainLane, a national organization advancing cross-sector sustainable development for state and local government. The city has implemented numerous sustainability initiatives under Mayor Menino's leadership, including: the first in the nation green building standards for private and public large building developments; the largest municipal purchaser of green power in New England; clean vehicle and fuel policies for municipal vehicles; and energy efficiencies for city buildings. For more information, see the Sustainability Guidelines and everyday tips to green your home, visit www.cityofboston.gov/environmentalandenergy.

The Mayor continues to advance climate change solutions through municipal actions and in partnership with residents and visitors through an ambitious sustainability agenda. To learn more about the city's plans, and to take Mayor Menino's Climate Action Pledge, visit www.cityofboston.gov/climate.
