Sustainability

What We Do

The Sustainability Department is a branch of the Facilities Department that focuses on the implementation of the Climate Action Mobilization Plan (CAMP), a resident driven initiative endorsed by the Select Board in 2021. The CAMP contains goals and guidance for Wayland to combat climate change and meet state emissions reduction requirements.

The key focus areas of the CAMP include: 

• Lowering Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Transitioning To Clean Energy 
• Adapting to a Changing Climate 
• Reducing Waste 

Massachusetts has set a goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions statewide by 2050. With that target in mind Wayland has committed to reducing our aggregate greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by the year 2030.
