In 2019, New York State passed the most progressive climate law in the country: the Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act (CLCPA). This law requires that greenhouse gas emissions be reduced in all economic sectors across the state by 40% by 2030 and by 85% by 2050, and it established New York’s Climate Action Council to develop the blueprint for reaching these goals.
Here’s the real issue: Energy use in homes and commercial buildings are the single-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in NY.
To reduce emissions from buildings, the Council’s plan calls for no use of fossil fuels in new construction along with aggressive measures to help replace fossil fuels in buildings with energy-efficient electrification.
Turns out that these measures are cost effective and reliable, and they benefit human health as well as address climate goals.
Where do we go from here? Join Cornell professor Bob Howarth as he provides key insights into how you can take action to reduce and eliminate the future use of fossil fuels in the home.
