When it comes to the climate crisis, we must act quickly. Not just to protect our region’s natural beauty and mitigate the worst and broader effects of climate change, but to seize what is also a genuine opportunity to create good-paying Union jobs, boost economic growth, protect environmental justice communities, and save consumers and businesses billions of dollars. 

With the passage of the Next Generation Climate Roadmap Bill, our state has established aggressive emissions targets that we must meet both within each sector of our economy and collectively. As State Senator, Paul will be a strong advocate for policies and initiatives that enable us to meet these targets in a way that ensures a just and equitable future for all residents in Western Massachusetts and across the Commonwealth and ensure communities of color and underserved communities do not continue to bear the brunt of the adverse effects of energy policies. 

Through harnessing the power of clean energy, electrifying the transportation sector, and weatherizing our homes and business, Massachusetts has an opportunity to be a true leader in clean energy transition and tackling climate change.
