How YOU can use the Community Progress Monitor to Drive Regional Climate Action

Curious how data can drive real climate progress in our communities? Join us for an info session to explore the new Community Progress Monitor—a free online tool designed to help individuals, organizations, and local leaders track climate action and co-benefits across the Genesee-Finger Lakes region.
The Community Progress Monitor makes complex information accessible, connecting the dots between climate, energy, economy, and health. With just a few clicks, you can see how our region is moving toward cleaner air, more efficient homes, green jobs, and stronger, healthier communities.
Whether you’re a resident, student, business owner, or community advocate, this session will help you understand how local climate data can empower change—and why your voice matters in shaping a more regenerative future for our region.

Decarbonizing Rental Housing: Data Interactive
The Accelerator has been studying how we can decarbonize rental housing in Rochester with the Urban Institute, and we need your input! Beyond benefits to our climate, decarbonizing our housing would address many other challenges facing our community, including public health, energy and housing affordability, and housing quality.
Many renters are being left out of the clean energy transition because of what’s known as the “split incentive.” This happens when tenants pay their own energy bills, but landlords make the decisions about upgrades like insulation, efficient heating, or solar panels.
If you’re a renter, landlord, or simply interested in making housing more energy-efficient and affordable, save the date! Join us and our partner, the Urban Institute, for a community discussion on how we can make rental housing in Rochester cleaner, greener, and more sustainable for everyone. Your input will help shape future solutions—and we’d love to hear from you!
