Climate Change and Our Region's Climate Movement

Have you ever wondered how our region's response to climate change can/should align with our unique local conditions?

If so, join us on April 27 at noon via Zoom for a conversation with Abigail McHugh-Grifa, Executive Director of the Climate Solutions Accelerator of the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region. Based on the work of the Genesee-FLX Climate Collective, Abby will identify specific climate solutions that we should prioritize in our region in order to quickly and effectively reduce emissions while maximizing the co-benefits of climate action to improve quality of life for local residents. You will also learn about how to get involved in our region's climate movement and find a form of climate action that fits your skills and interests.

Abigail McHugh-Grifa was a founding member of the Climate Solutions Accelerator of the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region and New York State’s first Mothers Out Front chapter. Her early climate advocacy work also included co-coordinating Rochester’s Citizens’ Climate Lobby chapter. She currently serves as the Accelerator’s Executive Director and is a member of New York State’s Climate Justice Working Group. Though she holds a Ph.D. in Music Education from the Eastman School of Music, she gave up her career in music to dedicate herself to climate advocacy work out of concern for her two young sons whose futures depend on our collective efforts to maintain stable global temperatures.
