Join us for breakfast and conversation on New York City’s most recent strategic climate plan with Daphne Lundi.
As we mark the 16th anniversary of New York City’s first strategic climate plan, the Mayor’s Office of Climate and Environmental Justice (MOCEJ) will present the Adams administration’s newest strategies to build a sustainable and resilient city. Informed by the Sustainability Advisory Board, a group of 29 appointees representing diverse fields, the plan will guide future climate initiatives including building decarbonization, green jobs, and extreme heat mitigation.
We will hear from Daphne Lundi, MOCEJ’s Deputy Director for Living Streets & Public Spaces, on key initiatives from PlaNYC: Getting Sustainability Done and steps the City is taking to guide implementation. Fellows are invited to join the discussion and strategize how to drive the plan forward.
How will implementation of the city’s strategic climate plan ensure equitable development over the next decade?
Note speaker change.
