Webinar: Conserving Nature is Climate Smart


https://meetny.webex.com/weblink/register/r388c831e51ab251e...
Contact  Ingrid Haeckel
ingrid.haeckel@dec.ny.gov
Location  Online / Virtual

Nature is an integral part of climate solutions – but what does that mean for local governments? Natural areas store and sequester carbon, cool temperatures, and buffer storm surges and floods. New York’s Climate Smart Communities Program supports local governments in adapting to climate change, building community resilience, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Participating communities benefit from free technical assistance and access to grants. This webinar will focus on climate smart actions related to land-use planning and protecting nature.

This webinar will cover:

  • key roles natural areas play in climate resilience;
  • an overview of the Climate Smart Communities Program;
  • an introduction to climate smart actions for planning, zoning, and protection of natural areas
  • a case study of climate smart conservation and land-use policy from the Town of New Paltz

* Special note for hunters: most hunting zones do not align with DEC's regional boundaries, so you won't find hunting seasons listed in the regional calendars. Use the statewide calendar instead.

This calendar provides a listing of all DEC-sponsored events that are open to the public. You can click on any event in the calendar to view additional details about the event. Note that the events at environmental education centers will only display in the region in which they are located, even though they serve residents from adjacent areas.
