Town of Clifton Park Public Education & Engagement Strategy for Climate Adaptation and Mitigation 2023-2024

The Climate Smart Communities (CSC) Certification Program is a New York State program that helps local governments take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a changing climate. Under this program, the Town of Clifton Park has made a commitment to act by passing the CSC pledge.

The Town of Clifton Park is working to achieve Bronze Certification for New York State’s Climate Smart Communities initiative. Clifton Park is committed to identifying solutions and taking action to mitigate climate change and adapt to its inevitable consequences. Public education, outreach, and engagement are critical to preparing communities for the effects of climate change and to enlist the public in taking steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as part of preventing further climate change.

In order to reach, engage, and educate the residents of Clifton Park, the Climate Smart Task Force has developed a Public Education and Engagement Strategy Plan for educating the public about efforts within the Town to address adaptation and mitigation.
