The future of our region is in our hands. What will we choose?

The impacts of climate change are upon us, and our choices today will shape our tomorrow.

At the 2025 Climate Solutions Summit, we’ll tackle critical questions: 

  • What do we want our region to look like in 2050? 

  • How do we balance inclusive, equitable decision-making with bold, urgent action? 

  • And how can we dismantle outdated mental models to pave the way for true progress?

Learn. Collaborate. Act

Whether you’re a community leader, business owner, policymaker, or concerned citizen, this highly interactive summit is for you. Together, we will build the skills, knowledge, and relationships needed to create a thriving, resilient, and regenerative future for the Genesee-Finger Lakes region.

No matter what shade of green you are, this event is for you! Don’t miss your chance to be part of this transformative event. Registration opening soon!
