As another summer heat wave hits New York, much of the public conversation has centered on measures like setting thermostats higher or dimming Times Square lights to cut peak energy use.

Want to learn more about environmental wins and setbacks in this year's New York legislative session -- and about what's next? Join our webinar Wednesday at noon. RSVP: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

From EANY Executive Director Vanessa Fajans-Turner: As the Legislature adjourns for the year, I have mixed feelings about where New York stands. Gov. Hochul and lawmakers weakened our landmark climate law at a time when we are facing worsening floods and extreme heat, and rising energy costs.

Join Environmental Advocates NY on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 at noon for a special post-session webinar as we break down the biggest environmental wins, setbacks, and what's next in the fight for a healthier, more sustainable New York. 🔗 Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Gov. Kathy Hochul is pushing to roll back NY’s climate law — a stunning reversal for Hochul, a 2025 TIME100 Climate Leader who’s previously understood that states must step in when D.C. retreats. In a new TIME op-ed, EANY’s Vanessa Fajans-Turner and Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson tell the story.

Last week, EA's Director of Healthy Communities, Niamh, joined our friends with Meals for Good to discuss food insecurity in NYC. With the New York Food Waste Action Network, we're working to cut down food waste and lower emissions so every New Yorker is healthy and well-fed. #FoodWaste #NewYork

Savings! Savings! Savings! 💰 It’s all possible with #CapandInvest. Tell your lawmaker you support the CLCPA!

Dick was a tireless environmental advocate, who’s dedication and force led to the preservation of 100,000 acres of land in the Long Island Pine Barrens. We are holding his family and everyone who loves him closely in our hearts, as we recommit to protecting New York’s air, water & climate.

Composting is one of the best tools we have to keep food from going to landfills and bring down emissions.

Our statement on Governor Hochul’s Potential CLCPA Changes.

@greenwatchdogny.bsky.social praises the Senate's one-house budget for prioritizing environmental protections. Our budget seeks to build upon the Majority's historic investments into The Environmental Protection Fund and supports revitalizing New York’s Sustainable Futures Program.

EANY’s Katherine Nadeau joined WAMC Radio to discuss why New York cannot afford to delay the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) any longer.

🌱 This Brooklyn high school is heating itself with vegetable oil biofuel, a creative local solution that reduces fossil fuel use and makes good use of food waste.

NYC’s next decarbonization milestone is coming quickly, but less than half or buildings are on track to meet the 2030 emissions targets. That means many buildings face expensive penalties if upgrades aren’t made in time.

Gov. Hochul’s amendments to her executive budget didn’t include any changes to our landmark climate law, the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), despite whispers that they might.

The Sustainable Future Program aims to put money back in New Yorkers’ pockets through free energy assessments and efficiency upgrades at no cost to households. @nylcv.bsky.social

The Trump administration’s biggest climate rollback isn’t a random rule change, it’s the product of years of strategic work by a network of conservative activists dedicated to dismantling U.S. climate policy.

NYLCV has just released our Superbills for the year along with @greenwatchdogny.bsky.social! These bills represent issues important to the environmental community, at the intersection of high-impact legislation and environmental justice-focused solutions.

NEW YORK LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS AND ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATES NY ANNOUNCE PRIORITY “SUPERBILLS” FOR 2026 LEGISLATIVE SESSION

The New York League of Conservation Voters (NYLCV) and Environmental Advocates NY (EANY) announced a slate of Superbills — priority legislation and a major budget investment that will be more heavily…

We couldn’t be happier to see one of our 2026 Superbills, outlawing the sale of PFAS-contaminated household products, pass the Senate! We’re grateful to @leaderasc.bsky.social & Senate Environment Committee Chair @senatorharckham.bsky.social for their leadership in advancing this! 🎉

The demand for #NYEnviroFund programs has long outpaced available funding. By including a $425 million #NYEnviroFund in the final budget, @GovKathyHochul @NYSenate @NYSA_Majority can protect New Yorkers as well as our water, air, and land.

🚨The Trump administration’s brazen attempt to repeal the EPA’s endangerment finding (the framework that greenhouse gases harm public health, which underpins federal climate regulation) is stalling, for an embarrassing reason (for them): they fear it won’t survive in court.

NY's climate funding is at risk. Can you write to the Governor and urge her to unlock $1B for New York's clean energy future? Link below.

New York’s 120-year-old subway system is increasingly under strain due to climate change. Extreme downpours flood stations built close to street level; heat waves bake platforms whose airflow can’t keep up with today’s extreme weather.

BREAKING: The Trump Administration has withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement for the second time. Paris is a voluntary framework under which countries commit to cutting pollution and accelerating clean energy.

A new shift by the Trump EPA marks a dangerous departure from decades of public health protection: the agency will no longer measure the value of lives saved when setting limits on two widespread deadly air pollutants, fine particulate matter and ozone.
