Now I see the website https://www.drawdown.org/ much like the book I started reading a year ago on your recommendation. You might like it, and this group https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/worcester-climate-action-circle 
that wrote and promoted http://www.worcesterma.gov/uploads/19/02/1902f312a46d07a8c2bf0a21a27abe49/climate-emergency-declaration.pdf.

Subject: After the Declaration Next Steps Concept

After the Declaration Next Steps

pf draft 12/16/19

 

Summary /Overview

1. Review the specific clauses in the Declaration  Whereas's and the Therefore's

2. " the The Climate Mobilization (TCM)  Organizers' Toolkit for Next Steps

3. Review the TCM Technical Implementation Plans Template for Boston and the draft Worcester-ized version

4. Review the TCM Climate Mobilization Victory Plan

4. Consider using the 100 Solutions in the  book Drawdown for the overall approach to 

 

--not only achieving Zero Emissions

--but also aiming to reverse Global Warming by pulling enough Greenhouse Gases already in the atmosphere to do that

 

5. Consider creating a Central Mass Drawdown Project to be the follow up entity to plan and participate in carrying out these steps

 

6. One way to go about thinking about this is to review the list of 100 solutions and ask the question, "Which of these might be applied here?' With the Answers being multiple choice:

Yes

No 

Maybe

Don't know

 

See drawdown.org for the Drawdown Solutions List.  Also I'll aim to post on Google Docs our first pass at which ones might apply to Central Mass., but getting that accessible in Docs not my forte!
