The impacts of climate change can no longer be ignored.
New York is already experiencing the severe impacts of rising global temperatures in the increased frequency of extreme weather events, flooding, prolonged heat waves, and periods of drought. With the federal government attempting to unravel climate and public health initiatives at every turn it is up to states like New York to lead and become a true climate champion.
In order to avert the worst effects of climate change, Environmental Advocates NY is at the forefront of taking action to fight climate change and advocating for policies that transition our economy off of fossil fuels. An important cornerstone of our climate work is to fight for climate justice and promote policies that will uplift those most vulnerable to climate change impacts.
