Sustainable Hudson Valley’s mission is to speed up, scale up, jazz up and leverage progress against climate change, creating communities where people and nature thrive. More than ever during the COVID-19 crisis, our focus is on engaging the spirit and sparking creativity.  We build effective partnerships for climate solutions that also advance community vitality, social justice and economic innovation. With a wide range of partners, we are:

• leading a regional climate action planning process to guide work in seven counties;
• rolling out scalable programs for specific climate solutions such as local planning for 100% renewable energy and curbing leaks of refrigerants, the most potent greenhouse gases;
• growing the market for electric vehicles, renewable power, energy storage and clean heating and cooling technologies through consumer education, industry training, group purchases and other incentives;
• helping communities plan for resilience in the interconnected crisis of climate, health and economy, and see the enforced changes in our lifestyle as an opportunity to pivot into a lower-impact economy and culture;
