AI Summary
This bill enacts the New York State Climate and Community Protection Act, which aims to reduce the state's greenhouse gas emissions to 0% of 1990 levels by 2050, with an interim target of 50% reduction by 2030. The bill establishes the New York State Climate Action Council to develop a plan to achieve these emission reduction targets and promulgate regulations to ensure compliance. It also creates a Climate Justice Working Group to identify disadvantaged communities and ensure that climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts prioritize these communities. The bill requires state agencies to consider greenhouse gas emission impacts in their decision-making, promotes renewable energy and worker protection measures, and amends the Community Risk and Resiliency Act to address climate change risks.
