NYC Climate Justice Agenda, 2018

The NGO New York City Environmental Justice Alliance has produced the NYC CLIMATE JUSTICE AGENDA. As they write in the introduction, this report reviews “several City and State climate efforts along four priorities: (1) Extreme Heat and Community Preparedness, (2) Air Quality, (3) Green Infrastructure Equity, and (4) Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy”. While evaliuating the results of these efforts, this report gathers the solutions developed by grassroots organizations. The main message to the policy-makers is “to move New York City toward a Just Transition, a process based in justice and equity that builds economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy”.
