To address the issues identified in New York City’s EJNYC Report, the City is now developing it’s EJNYC Plan. To help inform this plan, which is designed to identify solutions to environmental and climate justice issues across the city, we are working with local organizations to host community input sessions in each borough over the coming months. We need your input on how to address issues impacting your community, so we encourage you to join the session in your borough.
