Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu will attend the Vatican Climate Summit in Rome from May 15 to 17. The summit, organized by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, will bring together global leaders to address the pressing issue of climate change.
Healey and Wu will showcase Massachusetts’s advancements in tackling climate change, such as its investments in wind energy and the appointment of a state climate czar. They will also emphasize the urgency of climate action and the need for collaboration. Boston has recently appointed its first chief climate officer, Brian Swett, to lead the city’s efforts in reducing emissions and building resilience. The Vatican Climate Summit will focus on the need to mitigate emissions and invest in climate resilience to ensure a sustainable future for all.
