Via Inside Climate News: “Mamdani, a previously obscure politician who rose to power through an unrelenting campaign for affordability, has vowed to address climate issues while in office — enforcing the city’s building decarbonization law, enacting his green school policy and handling the climate change-related issues residents often face, like flooding and extreme heat.”
New York City reporter Lauren Dalban: “Mamdani has one big climate-related policy in his agenda, which is called green schools — which would essentially turn some schools into resilience hubs and would retrofit 500 schools with like fully decarbonized heating and cooling appliances and also make them green.”
“He also backed a bill while he was a state assembly member that would eventually empower the New York Power Authority, which is our only state power authority, to build more renewables in order to help us meet our climate goals.”
