Regional Climate Action Road Map and Tool Kit
To build a common vision for the work to be done, SHV has coordinated the creation of a Regional Climate Action Road Map and Tool Kit. Involving over 90 experts and advocates, the Road Map identifies a series of key projects to remove barriers and lay the groundwork for a carbon-free, regenerative economy. SHV is now helping to activate these projects.
“Even though climate change is scary and overwhelming, I’ve found that working on it at the local level has been a joy. I’ve met the most wonderful people! We need that connection and direct action to feel engaged on a human level.”
Vanessa Bertozzi, Trustee, Village Board of Rhinebeck
