Massachusetts DCR’s Priority Actions – Part Two of the Webinar Series on Climate Resiliency in Massachusetts
Join the EBC Climate Change Committee for a webinar series exploring how Massachusetts state agencies are turning key insights from their past work into action in 2026 and beyond.
Through this series, leadership from MBTA, Massport, MassDCR, MEMA, and MassDOER will present their key achievements in advancing climate resiliency over the past year, showcasing impactful projects, partnerships, and measurable outcomes from 2025. Agency leadership will also provide a forward-looking perspective on upcoming initiatives, programs, and policy developments planned for 2026 and beyond, offering insight into how each agency is preparing for evolving climate challenges.
The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is charged with protecting, promoting, and enhancing Massachusetts’ natural, cultural and recreational resources. As the largest landowner in the Commonwealth, DCR is working to strengthen the resources under its care so that these sites can better face the impacts of climate change. Sarah White, DCR’s Director of Climate Resilience, will share updates on the Department’s latest efforts, highlighting both completed projects and future programs and priorities.
The webinar will conclude with a moderated Q&A session for attendee questions.
