Here in New York, we are fighting climate change by holding the state accountable for implementing the necessary actions required to meet its ambitious goals.

We are continuing our efforts of advancing legislation, administration, and funding. Read about our work at the federal level.

We are also working at state and local levels to secure funding, gain support from officials, and change local laws and policies to provide for the installation of more charging stations for electric cars. Another main push is our proposal of changes to be made to local laws and rules that will modernize codes and procedures for the allowance of residential solar installation.
