Energy and Climate Change
Energy-related issues, including understanding the relationship between energy and climate change, are already affecting communities all across New York State and will continue to do so.

Many of the most critical economic, societal, and environmental issues impacting the future well-being of individuals, families, businesses, communities, and regions have an energy underpinning. It is important to have energy literate citizenry.

Cornell Cooperative Extension efforts in energy issues provide a solid foundation on which to build a more comprehensive extension education program involving these key audiences: Agriculture, Communities, Households
and Youth
