Webinar Recording: Put it in Writing: How Local Government Can Plan For Climate Change

Our partners at the New York State Hudson River Estuary Program provide a basic overview of how communities can incorporate conservation and climate adaptation strategies into local planning and regulatory systems. Learn how comprehensive plans, natural resource inventories, open space plans, and zoning can be used as powerful tools toward achieving climate and ecological goals. We then hear from an environmental leader in Ancram (Columbia County) on how her town did just that.

Speakers:

Christine Vanderlan, Conservation and Land Use Specialist, NYS Hudson River Estuary Program

Colleen Lutz, Ancram Climate Smart Community Task Force Member and Representative to the Columbia County Environmental Management Council, and Assistant Biologist for the New York Natural Heritage Program

Our monthly Morning Coffee webinar series highlights experts in the field to inform and inspire our regional climate community.
