Climate Act Testimony

In January 2023, NYSAC submitted testimony to the Senate on the legislative and budgetary actions that will be necessary to implement the Climate Action Council’s Final Scoping Plan for reaching the Climate Act’s goals.

County governments will be an invaluable partner to New York State in implementing the Scoping Plan’s recommendations; however, counties will not be able to contribute fully to reaching the Climate Act goals without changes to state laws and regulations, financial support, technical assistance, and ongoing forums to provide input.
