Who We Are
In 2012, the fracking and nuclear industries were pushing to expand in New York. This would have locked our state into a dirty, expensive, and unjust energy system for decades to come.
In response, a small group of activists in Central New York founded Alliance for a Green Economy — AGREE — with a bold vision for a renewable energy transition built on social and environmental justice. Over the years, AGREE has grown from a small volunteer team gathered around a table in Syracuse to a statewide powerhouse with staff that are beloved by their peers and respected in the halls of government.
What We Do
Alliance for a Green Economy (AGREE) works for safe, affordable energy and the development of a green economy in New York State. Our goal is a prosperous, safe, and healthy New York, fulfilling the promise of conservation, energy efficiency, and safe, clean renewable energy sources to end our state’s reliance on wasteful and environmentally destructive forms of energy. The Alliance works to promote this transition to a carbon-free and nuclear-free future and educates the public about alternatives that can revitalize the economy and safeguard human health and the environment.
