State Agencies Are Ignoring NY’s Climate Mandates

New York is not on track to meet its Climate Act energy mandates, and state agencies are failing in their most basic duties. NY Lawyers for the Public Interest and NY Renews released a report, “Flouting the Law: Major State Agencies Are Ignoring New York’s Climate Mandates” finding that four of the biggest agencies — Department of Transportation, Empire State Development, Education Department, and Department of Health — have failed to comply with the Climate Act, issuing neither policies nor guidance on implementation of the law. Caroline Chen and Sierra Townsend of NYLPI’s Environmental Justice Program talks about the report with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
