NYC Housing Authority Announces Ambitious Climate Plan
New York plans to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions from public housing.
New York City's housing authority is the largest in the nation—it manages over 8 percent of rentals, and houses more than 400,000 people citywide.
This week, the agency announced that it would reduce carbon emissions from its buildings by a minimum of 30 percent over the next ten years.
These cuts are part of the New York City Carbon Challenge, a Bloomberg-era program for businesses, universities, and other institutions that was recently expanded by Mayor Bill de Blasio.
