The Climate Smart Communities (CSC) Program is one of the High Impact Actions under the CEC Program that local governments can pursue to save money, foster a vibrant economy, improve the environment, and demonstrate clean energy leadership.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories and climate action plans are part of Pledge Element 2 under the CSC Program, and are key to establishing baselines and setting achievable goals.

The Hudson Valley Regional Council (HVRC), with the support of Climate Action Associates (CAA), has successfully facilitated a Climate Action Planning working group for communities in the Hudson Valley that have taken the Climate Smart Communities Pledge.

Join NYSERDA’s Clean Energy Communities (CEC) team for a statewide webinar to learn how the working group guided participants through the process of completing GHG inventories, emissions reduction targets, and draft climate action plans that they can use to fulfill the Climate Smart Communities Program Pledge Element 2 actions.

Webinar attendees will learn how their communities can undertake similar activities, and for those attendees with ongoing projects already under way, it’ll be an opportunity to share best practices and cheer each other’s successes.
