‘Boston Strong' is a spirit that carries our city forward in good times and bad. Resiliency is the ability to plan and prepare for the future, and to absorb, recover from, and more successfully adapt to adverse events. After a year where we faced erratic government policies, racial inequity, and a crushing economy from the COVID-19 pandemic, Boston was mightily resilient, nourishing new development opportunities within a more sustainable and circular regional economy.

With the knowledge that climate change is an urgent threat to our national security and planet, we’ll meet with clients who are climate ready and learn about what they are doing today, their strategies moving forward, and how climate first projects happen within the city.
