City of Yes for Carbon Neutrality: Implications for NYC

Achieving New York City's target of carbon neutrality by 2050 will require significant changes to energy production, storage, and transmission; building performance and management; transportation; and waste streams. The NYC Department of City Planning has identified ways in which the city's zoning regulations could be modernized to further support its ambitious climate goals.
