New Yorkers for Clean Air

05/27/2026

New Yorkers are already dealing with rising utility costs, unhealthy air, and more extreme weather. Weakening climate commitments won’t solve those problems.

The Sustainable Future Fund is an important investment, but New York must continue advancing long-term clean energy solutions that reduce costs, improve public health, and strengthen communities statewide.

Thank you for your continued leadership on New York’s energy future.

New Yorkers should not have to choose between keeping energy bills affordable and addressing the climate crisis. Today’s high costs are tied to our dependence on volatile fossil fuels, not the CLCPA.

Moving forward with the CLCPA means building a more reliable, homegrown energy system that protects families from global price swings and delivers long-term affordability.

New York is taking a meaningful step forward on affordability and clean energy.

Governor Hochul announced a $150 million investment from the Sustainable Future Fund to expand energy-efficient heat pump installations will help lower energy costs, improve building efficiency, and support the transition to a more sustainable energy system—particularly for low- and moderate-income households.

Smart investments like this are key to building a cleaner, more affordable future.

A cleaner, more affordable New York is within reach — and the Clean Air Initiative can help get us there.

A new report shows how the Clean Air Initiative would invest in the projects New Yorkers need now:

✔️ Cleaner air and healthier schools for our kids
✔️ Roughly $270/year in energy rebates to help families
✔️ Heat pumps and rooftop solar that could save households up to $3,300 annually
✔️ A stronger, more reliable grid with cheaper power for millions of homes
✔️ Thousands of family-sustaining union jobs across the trades

Affordability is top of mind for New Yorkers — and we can help tackle it through the initiative while building a healthier future.

Don’t sabotage the Climate Act. Cap-and-invest reduces pollution, lowers costs, and delivers cleaner air for all New Yorkers.

How the Clean Air Initiative can help New York?

- Economic growth
- Jobs across the state
- Household energy savings

A recent editorial from The Buffalo News highlights the opportunity New York has with the Clean Air Initiative — a policy designed to cut pollution and reinvest in communities across the state.

With the Clean Air Initiative ready to go, New York has a chance to implement clean air investments to deliver for everyone.

Unfortunately, on air pollution and emission reduction, Hochul has been slower to push for the regulation and resources required by New York’s climate law.

New York has finalized its Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program — a crucial move toward stronger, data-driven climate action.

We applaud Commissioner Amanda Lefton and the Department of Environmental Conservation for ensuring the state has reliable, independent data to guide strong climate policy and the Clean Air Initiative.
