Celebrate NY's Landmark Law to Hold Polluters Accountable

Governor Kathy Hochul has signed groundbreaking legislation requiring major fossil fuel companies to contribute to New York's efforts to combat climate change. This law shifts the burden of climate adaptation costs from everyday citizens to the corporations most responsible for greenhouse gas emissions.

The funds will support critical infrastructure improvements, such as coastal protection, flood mitigation systems, and other projects to enhance resilience against extreme weather events. By targeting the largest polluters, New York is leading the charge in holding these companies accountable for environmental damage and ensuring a sustainable future for all.
