Join us at the forefront of change! Discover how climate solutions aren’t just a necessity but an opportunity to create a healthier, more equitable future for the Genesee-Finger Lakes region.

  • How does climate change impact our health today, and what are the projected implications for the future? How can community resilience address these challenges?

  • Gain perspective by hearing from a diverse range of local residents about how climate impacts their lives and the unique challenges they face.

  • Discuss the impacts of climate change and fossil fuel use on air quality, water quality, mental health, maternal health, and much more.

  • Learn how to leverage our region’s assets to build a healthcare system that is informed about climate-related illness and prepared to respond.

  • Develop ideas for sustainable healthcare, secure and healthy food systems, clean energy access, green transportation, and other equitable systems-level solutions.

  • Understand the importance of climate justice and the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable populations.
