Who we are

The Climate Smart Claverack Committee (CSCC) is made up of residents dedicated to imagining the best future for the town of Claverack in terms of climate resiliency, infrastructure and community spaces. We believe that making climate smart choices improves the lives of our neighbors and makes Claverack an even more beautiful place to live.

  • Working toward Bronze Status as part of the New York State Climate Smart Communities Initiative

  • Drafting a Climate Action Plan for the municipality
