Current Work

Since the passing of Sherborn's Student Initiated Climate Emergency Declaration, the town has received an $38k grant for a consultant to help Sherborn create its climate action plan. The Sustainability Task Force will be involved in the Intergenerational Climate Conversations project, in which students interview residents about their views on climate change and what they wish to see in the upcoming climate action plan. 


The politics subcommittee is also working with the education subcommittee to survey Dover-Sherborn students on their views of climate change and interest in specific sustainability initiatives in the community.
