Capital Region Climate Action Collaborative
CDRPC is leading the development of the Climate Action Plan for the Capital Region. In March 2024, the creation of a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) was completed. The next phase is the development of a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP), which will be completed in September 2025. The CCAP expands on the PCAP to include GHG mitigation measures for all economic sectors.
This Climate Action Plan is being developed through a newly formed Climate Action Collaborative that includes a consortium of regional agencies, partner organizations, and municipal climate action leaders covering Albany, Schenectady, Saratoga, Rensselaer, Columbia, Warren, Washington, and Greene Counties.
For Municipalities
Join the Collaborative and provide your municipality’s feedback on our mitigation measures:
For Citizens
Take our Citizenship Input Survey to give your input:
We are interested in obtaining public input for this effort and would like to know what you think about some key actions that residents can take to help the region reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG). This survey takes only a few minutes to complete and your answers will be anonymous (unless you provide your contact information at the end of the survey for us to contact you – your contact information will not be published).
