NYC's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Drop, Progress in Climate Policies
Update: 2025-12-23
Description
New York Citys greenhouse gas emissions in 2024 dropped to pre-pandemic levels, thanks to new climate policies. Transportation emissions rose but remained lower than 2005 levels. Buildings and waste emissions decreased significantly. Natural gas use increased but hit a decade low. Tough new laws, such as the Taxi and Limousine Commissions requirement for electric or wheelchair-accessible rides, and building rules banning fossil fuels, contributed to the reduction. The city aims to cut emissions by 80% by 2050, but success depends on cleaning up the electric grid and shifting to more sustainable practices. Checkout Solipillow.com
