About Us

The Tompkins County Climate Protection Initiative (TCCPI), with the generous support of the Park Foundation, seeks to establish and mobilize a coalition of local community leaders who are committed to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and greater energy efficiency.

The coalition's primary focus is on undertaking major energy efficiency projects that will significantly decrease electricity consumption, producing critical economic and environmental benefits associated with the climate protection effort.

TCCPI has four major goals:


1. Facilitate implementation of a common strategy, target, and timetable for achieving significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

2. Create a peer-to-peer mentoring network that provides mutual support among the participants in addressing the problems and challenges involved in meeting the county's target of 80% reductions in GHG emissions and timetable of 2% per year.

3. Establish a consortium that allows members to explore potential financing mechanisms and purchase the necessary goods and services to achieve greenhouse gas reduction targets at a significant discount.

4. Support development of the tools necessary for the community to monitor its progress through effective data collection and analysis, thus promoting transparency and accountability.

By pursuing these goals, TCCPI is creating a replicable process for building a clean energy economy and implementing climate protection in communities throughout the nation.
