New York City's path to decarbonization and environmental justice: perspectives on the Climate Mobilization Act
Monday, September 14 7:00pm ET
Joe Biden’s $2 trillion climate commitment, part of the “Build Back Better” plan, aims to mobilize American ingenuity to build a modern infrastructure and an equitable, clean energy future. In many ways, this ambition leverages commitments made under NYC's landmark Climate Mobilization Act (CMA), the greatest decarbonization law at the municipal level nationwide. Join CMA’s champion, Costa Constantinides, and T.R. Ludwig, Tonya Gayle, Marcela Mulholland, and Kate Frucher for an intimate conversation on jobs, justice, and the role of good policy. From the battle to shutter the dirtiest power plants by creating a renewable Rikers Island, to investment in workforce development for public housing residents, clean energy deployment can be key to racial justice and economic mobility. Learn why stakeholders are committed to winning on bold climate justice and clean energy proposals in November.
Speakers:
Costa Constantinides, NYC Council Member & Environmental Protection Committee Chairman
T.R. Ludwig, CEO of Brooklyn Solar Works
Tonya Gayle, Chief Development Officer at Green City Force
Marcela Mulholland, Deputy Director for Climate at Data for Progress
Kate Frucher (Moderator), Managing Director at New Energy Nexus & The Clean Fight
