… The nine-member panel, which held its first meeting March 21, is responsible for developing a plan focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building climate resiliency in Needham.

… “Climate change is one of the most urgent issues we face globally, and we have a responsibility to do our part here at home to reduce our carbon footprint and build our resiliency,” Marianne Cooley, a member of the Select Board and the climate committee, said in a statement. “I am determined to build on the work we have been doing in this area over the last several years and to develop an action plan for achieving our climate goals.”
