In this Client Alert, Victor Baltera and Gregory Sampson discuss the two straw proposals that the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) Office has released to update its climate resiliency and greenhouse gas (GHG) policies. The proposals aim to enhance analysis during project review of climate adaptation and mitigation strategies as well as climate impacts from projects. Public comments are due by September 16, 2024, followed by a formal regulatory proposal from MEPA, with final policies expected in early 2025.
