New York City Mayor Eric Adams unveiled a new plan on Tuesday to combat climate change. The plan, which is called the "Climate Action Plan," sets ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving the city's resilience to climate change.
The plan calls for the city to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. To reach this goal, the city will need to invest in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and public transportation. The plan also includes measures to protect the city from the impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise and extreme weather events.
"This is a bold and ambitious plan, but it is necessary," said Mayor Adams. "We must act now to protect our city from the worst effects of climate change."
The Climate Action Plan has been praised by environmental groups and climate scientists. However, some business groups have expressed concerns about the cost of implementing the plan.
