WESTCHESTER YOUTH CLIMATE ACTION DEMANDS

For far too long, Westchester municipalities have made proclamations of climate progress without actually setting real deadlines for themselves. Westchester's young people demand a change.

​

Here are our demands for every Westchester municipality:

  1. Commit to meeting the goals outlined by New York's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act on the municipal level.

  2. Start the process of building a Climate Action Plan that outlines how you will accomplish the goals set out in the Emergency Declaration.

  3. Become a Climate Smart Community & a designated Clean Energy Community in the NYS programs

  4. Have a youth member of your Environmental Committee or Conservation Advisory Board to ensure all of your promises are kept

PUBLIC POWER

We are advocating to pass the Build Public Renewables Act (S6453/A1466) which would expand the democratically-run New York Power Authority and transition it to 100% renewable energy.
