Climate Change

 
In response to the Trump Administration’s announcement that it intends to withdraw the US from the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, municipalities across the country have been making commitments to meet the Paris Agreement targets anyway. They are “staying in.” Hastings has joined with over 300 other Climate Mayors, representing over 62 million people in the US, in this pledge. Our Village staff, working with the Conservation Commission is continuing to work on meeting the goals of our Village Comprehensive Plan and Sustainability Action Plan, which can move us a long way towards the Paris Agreement targets. We have also recently been named a New York Clean Energy Village, based on a number of actions we have already taken, and more actions are planned. See a map of Climate Mayor cities here.
