2021 City Council Candidates on Sustainability

Join us for a virtual discussion at the intersection of local government, policy, and the built environment with candidates running for NYC City Council in 2021.

Sustainable design will be one of the most pressing issues for new council members. In the last few years, the City Council has passed monumental pieces of legislation around sustainable design, most notably the Climate Mobilization Act (Local Law 97). New council members will need to further expand the city’s role in reducing inequity, limiting waste, and fighting climate change.

This program is hosted by the AIANY Committee on the Environment and New York Passive House.

Panelists:
Jesse Laymon, District 26, Queens
Felicia Singh, District 32, Queens
Althea Stevens, District 16, The Bronx
