  • Eye on the Feds: The Senate Republicans’ “Big Ugly Bill” and Recent EPA Rollbacks

    As the slew of Trump administration rollbacks build, it is quite clear that the federal government is intent on unraveling years of climate progress. These environmental policy setbacks not only pose threats to global climate efforts, but also to New York’s climate agenda and NYLCV’s collaborative efforts with local politicians to enact bold climate action across the state. The Senate Republicans’ recent sweeping reconciliation bill prominently illustrates this threat, aiming to derail foundational clean energy incentives, threaten over one million jobs, and significantly increase energy costs for Americans.

Policy Means People: Reduce and Mitigate Heat Vulnerability
In New York City, on average, there are 580 heat-related deaths each summer, according to a 2024 report published by the City of New York. These heat-related deaths account for approximately 3% of all deaths over the warmer months. Due to global climate change, the proportion of the number of days that fall into the higher temperature range, defined as “extreme heat days,” has been increasing. The number of heat-related deaths in New York City has been increasing in tandem. NYLCV’s priorities aim to address this climate-related vulnerability at both a policy and individual level, centering focus on the wellbeing of vulnerable New Yorkers.

NYLCV Gives Green Announces New York City Endorsements, Including Co-endorsement for Mayor
"We were fortunate this year to have a field of candidates with a strong track record on environmental action. In many races, we had to choose between contenders who all demonstrated serious commitments to climate; in those instances, we focused on candidates who have consistently delivered real results,” said Julie Tighe, President of the New York League of Conservation Voters. “In the mayoral race, Andrew Cuomo and Brad Lander rose above the rest. Governor Cuomo was instrumental in passing the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act and made generational investments in clean air, clean water, and parks. Comptroller Lander has been a leader on climate finance, driving fossil fuel divestment from pension funds, helping to pass the nation-leading plastic bag ban and Styrofoam restrictions, and championing environmental causes throughout his time on the City Council. We are proud to endorse this group of candidates and look forward to working with them to continue advancing environmental progress at the local level.”

Rolling Back the Future: A Reconciliation Bill Explainer
When the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law in August of 2022, it was the biggest, boldest climate legislation in U.S. history. It promised to accelerate the clean energy transition, create green jobs across the country, and invest in a healthier, more sustainable future. Now those promises are at risk of being broken. The reconciliation bill that passed the House, if enacted, would unravel key provisions of the IRA, rescind billions in key climate investments at the EPA and Department of Energy, and pull the rug out from under American families and businesses that have begun to rely on clean energy tax credits.
