Topics and Speakers
At our March chapter meeting will hear from experts about new energy policy such as the New York State Cap-and-Invest Program (NYCI) as well as the New York City LL-97 policy update and roll out.
NYS Cap-and-Invest program (NYCI): A cap-and-invest program was recommended by the Climate Action Council’s Scoping Plan and proposed in Governor Kathy Hochul’s 2023 State of the State Address. The intent of the New York cap-and-invest program (NYCI) is to reduce harmful climate-altering greenhouse gas emissions, improve public health, and help combat climate change while advancing environmental justice and investing in disadvantaged communities statewide.
This is a multi-prong and will be a complex program. Success will depend on accurate planning and execution. We will hear from an expert about the general concept of the program, timeline, and their thoughts on the program benefits as well as potential drawbacks.
