Sustainability

Resilient Watertown is home to the City of Watertown’s programs that reduce our contribution to climate change and enhance our ability to prepare for the impacts of climate change. On these pages, you can learn about Resilient Watertown’s initiatives and how you can get involved in climate action.

Below you’ll find some initial, high impact actions you can take. To the left are links to our Climate and Energy Plan and to a wider array of resources, actions, and data if you want to go further on your sustainability journey.
