It was crafted by the New York City Climate Cabinet — a panel made up of 35 administration officials, outside stakeholders, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and council Environmental Protection Committee Chair James Gennaro.
New Yorkers are already familiar with the devastating effects of extreme weather events linked to climate change after suffering through destructive storms over the past decade like Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and Tropical Storm Ida in 2021. Mayor Eric Adams releases ‘PlaNYC: Getting Sustainability Done,’ a new long term climate change plan.Under the initiative, Aggarwala said, OMB will begin looking at the carbon impacts of city agency budget proposals and how those will affect the city’s overall goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. That means the city will look at how endeavors like building more affordable housing, maintaining infrastructure and procuring food for students will affect its emissions reductions targets.
Lander said this program will make solar panels available to communities that have traditionally not been able to use them because of the prohibitive cost of installation — which can run between $15,000 to $25,000.
