Patrick unveils $50m plan on climate change: Governor Deval Patrick, joined by Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh, announced today a series of initiatives that aim to help Massachusetts better prepare for the effects of climate change. Noting recent nor’easters and other storms, and the arctic freeze that gripped the nation, Patrick said his $50 million plan would assess and address vulnerabilities in climate preparedness in areas such as public health, transportation, energy, and business. The governor will also invest another $10 million in critical coastal infrastructure and dam repair, including $1 million in municipal grants to reduce or eliminate risks associated with coastal storms and sea-level rise.
