Welcome to the CCE Tompkins Energy & Climate Change Blog!

We have a wide range of programs that engage with students, children and adults, home efficiency upgrades, energy education, workforce development programs, and community projects. And since Tompkins County is such a happening place, we often work with other organizations that have a similar focus as our programs.

On this blog, you will be able to find updates about all of our programs, and others in the region. If you’re interested in anything energy and climate-related, this blog is for you!
