Hudson River Watershed Alliance’s fall 2023 breakfast lecture series focuses on water and watershed-related Climate Smart Communities case studies. Climate Smart Communities (CSC) is a New York State program that helps local governments take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a changing climate. The CSC certification program includes a wide range of actions, and municipalities can receive points for many different types of water-related projects.

Carolyn Klocker and Kelsey West from Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County provided an overview of intersections of water and climate change within the CSC program. They shared ideas for getting points for existing projects, examples of municipalities they've worked with on these actions, and opportunities for communities throughout the Hudson River watershed to receive technical assistance and support.
