Montclair Climate Action

Our climate is in crisis. Increasing greenhouse gas levels, habitat loss, and unsustainable development have already brought about disastrous effects around the world. Here in New Jersey, the average temperature is rising annually, worsening heat waves, which already kill hundreds per year. Rising sea levels are making coastal flooding more common. Around the world, ice sheets are melting and droughts are afflicting large areas. This is only the beginning; scientists agree that we must act now to avoid far greater harms.

We are Montclair parents and neighbors, seeking a safer future for our children, our town, and the planet we all share. Through encouraging individual lifestyle change and demanding policy change by the township government, we hope to do our part of address the climate crisis. Together, we have formed Montclair Climate Action to achieve significant steps towards greenhouse gas reduction and climate change adaptation by the government and residents of the township of Montclair, through organizing, education, outreach, and lobbying, in order to make Montclair a climate leader.
