New York City’s Greenhouse Ggas Output Increased between 2017 and 2019, setting back hopes of Cutting the Emissions by up to 40% by 2030, a New Environmental Progress Report shows.
Measured from the 2005 Baseline set under the Administration of then, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Emissions were Down only 15% as of last year, after having Decreased by 18.2% between 2005 and 2017, according to City Hall’s recently released OneNYC 2020 Update.
While the Push to Reduce Emissions is a Decades-Long Haul, with Stakes raised Last Year by City Council Legislation to Cut Greenhouse Gases 80% by 2050, the Uptick raised Concerns from Environmentalists.
‘It’s a little troubling that emissions have gone up rather than gone down — and we’re moving in the wrong direction on that front.”, said Julie Tighe, President of the New York League of Conservation Voters.
