The Town of Groton has developed its first town-wide Climate Action and Resilience Plan. The plan will help Groton prepare for climate change while protecting the people, places, and resources that make our community special. The Climate Action and Resilience Plan was endorsed by the Groton Town Council on August 4, 2026.

Across Groton, residents are seeing the effects of climate change, including heavier rain, flooding, rising sea levels, and hotter summers. These changes affect our neighborhoods, roads, homes, natural areas, and daily life. Climate-Ready Groton brings together community input and technical studies to address these challenges in practical and local ways.
The planning process included studies to better understand climate risks and sources of greenhouse gas pollution in Groton. Using this information, along with input from residents, businesses, and other stakeholders, the Town developed goals and actions to reduce emissions and build resilience for the future.
The Climate-Ready Groton Plan focuses on five main areas:
Buildings and Energy: Focuses on saving energy and increasing clean energy use.
Community Preparedness and Resilience: Focuses on keeping people safe during storms, heat waves, and other emergencies.
Infrastructure and Land Use: Focuses on roads, buildings, and planning decisions that reduce risk from flooding and other climate impacts.
Natural Resources and Consumption: Focuses on protecting natural areas and reducing waste.
Transportation and Mobility: Focuses on cleaner transportation options and safer ways to get around Town.
With the plan now endorsed, the Town will move into the next phase of the process: implementation. The Town will continue to evaluate priorities, identify opportunities, and determine how the plan’s goals and actions can be incorporated into future Town initiatives and decision-making. Additional information will be shared here as implementation efforts take shape.
