The Trump administration’s decision to step back from the foundational treaty that underpins international cooperation on climate change is yet another setback but it will not slow New York down.
Governor Kathy Hochul has made clear that New York will keep moving forward. While Washington walks away, New York is delivering results: reducing pollution, investing at scale in affordable clean energy and climate resilience, strengthening grid reliability, and creating good-paying jobs in communities across the state.
We are building a cleaner, more reliable energy system that protects public health, supports economic growth, and positions the state for long-term competitiveness, regardless of federal retreat. New York will continue to press ahead and work with partners at every level to advance climate action that delivers for New Yorkers today and for future generations.
