Potsdam Climate Smart Communities Task Force Mission Statement - Adopted 10/30/18
The Town and Village of Potsdam, New York have each signed a New York State Climate Smart Communities Pledge and have formed a joint Climate Smart Communities Task Force to consider ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by implementing energy conservation measures that protect the environment, mitigate weather hazards and reduce the tax burden shouldered by Potsdam’s residents and businesses. The Mission of the Climate Smart Communities Task Force is to become a New York State certified Climate Smart Community by:
- Developing a strategy and work plan to establish a baseline of the community’s current emissions and climate-related vulnerabilities.
- Developing recommendations for reducing emissions and mitigating vulnerabilities
- Developing a plan for how those recommendations should be communicated to constituents, funded and integrated into the community’s ongoing planning and economic development efforts.
