NYC Climate Justice AgendaIn this third edition of the New York City Climate Justice Agenda, the New York City Environmental Justice Alliance (NYC-EJA) has reviewed 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. For each area, we assess major progress and challenges, and propose solutions that have been developed at the grassroots level with input from our member organizations and allies.
The recommendations put forward in this report aim 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.3
