Town Meeting approved a non-binding "Net Zero" resolution under Article 22, setting a goal for the community to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and reach 100% reduction by 2050. The resolution is intended to signal the town’s commitment to state climate mandates and qualify Cohasset for "Climate Leader" grants.

Vice Chair Debbie Cook noted that Cohasset’s emissions have actually increased by 3% over the last eight years. Approving this is good governance, Cook argued, emphasizing that the resolution is a prerequisite for certain state funding. While the measure passed, some residents voiced skepticism regarding the feasibility and future costs. Resident Jay Whitney Halloran called the pace unrealistic, while Leland Jenkins questioned what the ultimate cost to taxpayers would be by 2050. Supporters pointed to the successful solar array at the transfer station, which has saved the town over $1 million, as a model for future decarbonization efforts.
