NYC’s Building Emissions Limits: A View from the Trenches

In April 2019, New York City enacted the Climate Mobilization Act. The Act’s centerpiece is Local Law 97 (LL97), first-of-its-kind legislation that places limits on GHG emissions from large buildings starting in 2024 and tightening over time, with significant annual fines for noncompliance. The law set clear requirements for the first compliance period (2024-2029), but many crucial details are still in development for later periods starting in 2030. This session will explore progress, challenges and opportunities with leading NYC experts at the center of LL97 implementation.
