Addressing Climate Change at its Roots

© Dorrie Holmes

Why adapt and mitigate?

To mitigate climate change means to fight climate change at its root—excess greenhouse gasses. Paired with Mass Audubon's climate adaptation initiatives, which build resilience and help us contend with climate change’s current and future impacts, reducing and eliminating our excess greenhouse gas emissions is the urgent and bold action we need to protect the people and wildlife we love from climate change.

Best of all? Anyone can work to adapt to and mitigate climate change.

Drive Green

The biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Massachusetts, and the country, is our transportation sector. Cut down on these emissions by switching to electric vehicles over gas-powered vehicles.

An all-electric or battery-electric vehicle can reduce your transportation carbon footprint by nearly 75%.
