Climate Action: People, Projects, Progress
8-weeks | Available (Membership Required)
This course is a dynamic exploration of what's being done to slow and eventually reverse climate change in the Hudson Valley. Using the HV Regional Climate Action Road Map and Tool Kit as a platform, participants will gain a detailed strategic understanding of the work to be done by everyone, from utilities and recycling agencies to businesses, farms and local governments. Despite uncertainty about federal policy, a vibrant movement is at work installing solar arrays and agrivoltaic projects, retrofitting buildings, demonstrating district scale geothermal, sequestering carbon in soils and so much more. Learn the big picture and do a local investigation.
