Description:

The City of Boston and the Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA) are proposing to update the current Climate Change Resiliency and Preparedness policy and related Checklist to incorporate the research and recommendations of the Boston Research Advisory Group Report and the Climate Ready Boston Report. The Climate Change Resiliency and Preparedness policy was first enacted in 2013.

The Policy and Checklist establish the BPDA’s procedures for large projects, planned development area, and institutional master plan review ensuring future climate conditions are consider in project impact analysis and that appropriate measures to avoid, eliminate, or mitigate those impacts are incorporated in project planning, design, and construction.

The BPDA is seeking your feedback on the proposed updates including comments on the Climate Change Resiliency and Preparedness Guidelines and Review Policy, Climate Change Resiliency and Preparedness Checklist, and the Climate Change Resiliency and Preparedness Guidance, all of which are available on the BPDA website for review.

Please provide public comments by Thursday, June 29th.

Your participation and assistance is greatly appreciated, thank you!
