New York's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act and Scallop Harvest Failure

Host Francesca Rheannon looks at New York's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, an historic climate law that puts the state on a path to reaching net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Act establishes economy-wide and electric sector targets for reducing GHG emissions and scaling up clean energy that will transform and strengthen New York’s economy while benefiting historically disadvantaged communities. But its implementation is being held up. We find out why.

Francesca talks with climate advocates Ryan Madden of the Long Island Progressive Coalition, Priya Mulgaonkar of the New York City Environmental Justice Alliance and Arielle Swernof of New York Renews.

Also Francesca talks with Steven Tettelbach of the Cornell Cooperative Exchange about the catastrophic failure of the scallop harvest this year.
