Header and Body
New York’s transition to an emissions-free future isn’t just about transforming how we produce and deploy energy: it’s an all-hands-on-deck project that requires real commitment from industry, the workers who power it, and the communities it serves. How should industry deliver on the urgent task at hand in collaboration with labor, climate justice groups, and local governments to ensure an environmental justice victory that leaves nobody behind? And how can these groups leverage their distinct histories and infrastructure in partnership to achieve that sustainable future? Join us at the 2nd annual Climate Justice Forum to hear from stakeholders who are helping shape New York’s energy future.
