It’s Up To Us……

Climate Change… Political Chaos….
creativity and collaboration have never been more important.

Sustainable Hudson Valley works to accelerate progress in building a low-carbon, resilient economy and communities where people and nature thrive.

Two calls to action drive our work.

First is the true urgency of responding to climate change on nature’s timeline – which the latest science confirms is moving fast – with goals that are ambitious and inspiring….

The second call to action is the explosion of creativity in response to the gravity of the situation. There is Project Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming. Drawdown is a thoroughly researched set of 100 top, scalable strategies to reduce human impact on earth’s climate and adjust our patterns of living to be safe and healthy in a changing climate. The New York Times Best Environmental Book of 2017, Drawdown is an exercise in thought leadership and an act of love.

The Exponential Climate Action Road Map complements the Drawdown menu of actions with a concrete plan for scaling them up to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and each decade thereafter. Created for the Global Climate Summit of September 2018, this road map can guide our region and communities.

IT’S TIME:

It’s time to get excited about the possibilities and work together creatively.

Most of all, it’s time for all of us to get excited about the possibilities and work together to create a secure future.

Sustainable Hudson Valley has developed new ways of empowering communities to lower their impact with energy efficiency and clean technology. We’ve also been at the center of planning efforts to set the agenda for sustainable development for the region. Leading up to 2020, we are launching a newly ambitious program that focuses on scaling up climate response and creating a positive political process to support it.
