Our Work
The Accelerator is working to achieve systemic change via two main pathways:

Convening and unifying a diverse range of partners to facilitate organizational action and nurture leadership development within organizations.
Organizing and empowering concerned citizens at the local level to facilitate individual action, nurture the development of effective community leaders, and build the power of our local climate movement.
All of our work is infused with an equity lens and prioritizes climate solutions that both accelerate emissions reductions and promote health, safety, and economic prosperity for all members of our community.

Our Commitment
As part of the Climate Solutions Accelerator's commitment to climate justice, the organization has signed on in support of the Black Agenda Group's declaration that racism is a public health crisis. We acknowledge that systemic racism has shaped our community and continues to do so today. The impacts of systemic racism on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region are seen in these persistent disparities, with significant implications for the health and well-being of our entire community. Furthermore, we recognize that climate change will only serve to worsen these disparities if we do not center equity and climate justice in our regional efforts to address climate change. The Climate Solutions Accelerator is firmly committed to incorporating the pillars of the Black Agenda Group's declaration as part of our efforts to co-create a local climate justice movement that prioritizes equity and works toward climate solutions that can be used to mitigate other systemic community concerns.

At The Children’s Agenda, we advocate for effective policies and drive evidence-based solutions for the health, education and success of children. We are especially committed to children who are vulnerable because of poverty, racism, health inequities and trauma. Learn about our work and join with us.
