Clinton: A Climate Smart Community (Working Toward Bronze level)

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 is an ad hoc committee of the Town’s CAC. As a town completes actions that help mitigate climate change at the local level, they are able to progress through three levels of CSC certification: bronze, silver, and gold.

The Town of Clinton created a Climate Smart Community Task Force in 2018, and the Town Board adopted the CSC pledge in the spring of 2021, officially registering us as a Climate Smart Community. The CSC Task Force meets monthly to pursue goals that will qualify the town for the first level, Bronze Certification.
