Capital Region Climate Action Plan
Capital Region Climate Action Plan
The Capital District Regional Planning Commission (CDRPC) is in the process of developing a climate action plan for the Capital Region. In March 2024 a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) was completed. The next phase is the development of a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP), to be completed in September 2025.
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.
Capital Region GHG Inventory
Capital Region GHG Inventory
As part of the CCAP mentioned above, CDRPC and its consultant Climate Action Associates have developed a GHG Emissions Inventory for the Capital District Region for 2022. The inventory apportions direct and indirect emissions throughout the region to all 160 cities, towns, villages, and the 8 counties in the Capital Region Regional Economic Development Council (REDC). This regional inventory will be a great benefit to the counties and municipalities when it comes time to develop their own Community Climate Action Plans.
