Nation Leading Policy, Huge Opportunities.
The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) is a landmark piece of legislation aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting clean energy, and mitigating the impacts of climate change in New York State. The CLCPA sets ambitious targets for reducing emissions and transitioning to renewable energy, providing a comprehensive framework for achieving these goals through policies, programs, and investment.
The CLCPA wouldn't have been possible if we didn't make history in 2018 by flipping the New York State Senate. This historic election saw several key wins in highly competitive districts in the Hudson Valley, demonstrating the importance of investing in strong climate candidates. The CLCPA was passed as a result of the efforts of these elected officials, who understand the urgency of addressing climate change and are committed to taking action.
The success of the CLCPA depends on strong leadership at the local level. Elected officials who understand the importance of the CLCPA and are committed to implementing it effectively will be essential to achieving our goals. This means investing in clean energy, creating jobs, and protecting communities from the impacts of climate change. It also means engaging communities in the implementation process and ensuring that everyone has a voice in this critical transition.
