The city's effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions

Crosstown with Pat Kiernan

Buildings across the five boroughs are responsible for nearly two-thirds of the city's greenhouse gas emissions. To address this in the face of climate change, the 2019 City Council passed Local Law 97. While it was considered one of the city's most ambitious plans to curb emissions, details are still being hammered out four years later. Pat Kiernan speaks with NY1 political reporter Juan Manuel Benitez about the debate over what environmental efforts should be taken in the city, what the fines could be and which buildings might be exempt from these efforts.
