Climate Works for All

In 2015, NYSNA signed onto the Climate Works for All platform, which details ten bold proposals to make our city more resilient, create nearly 40,000 good jobs each year, and cut our annual greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 12 million metric tons of carbon equivalent. This coalition campaign is now aiming its sights on how New York City plans to expand access to solar power.

The City currently plans to install solar panels on the rooftops of public buildings – including at least six NYC Health + Hospitals facilities. Making our struggling public hospitals more resilient—both environmentally and financially—is incredibly important. We know that renewable energy sources like solar panels are the key to making our city sustainable and nurturing a healthy planet for generations to come.
