Because climate change is an urgent threat, we strive to meet the ambition of NYC’s Local Law 97 — a landmark law that requires all large buildings to reduce their pollution over time. We do not want an exemption from the law – we want the City and State to provide resources so that New Yorkers can quickly and affordably upgrade our homes. 

Co-ops have particular needs, and programs designed for homeowners in single family homes and rental apartment buildings often exclude our kind of middle-class housing. 

From co-op specific navigators at the office that helps building owners comply with LL97 to the ambitious, state-wide Bucks for Boilers program, members of the Green Co-Op Council are organizing to win the tools we need to improve our homes and reduce emissions.
