Political Climate Change - Third Annual Forum

Political Climate Change 2011: Is New York City Moving Fast Enough?

As the impacts of climate change begin to manifest, is New York City moving fast enough to build the low-carbon city of the future?

The third annual Political Climate Change forum brings together key players in advancing energy efficiency in New York City's building stock to discuss their strategies to promote widespread property upgrades, with a focus on their work in affordable housing.

Political Climate Change is organized by the Supportive Housing Network of New York, Pratt Center for Community Development (a NYSERDA Energy $mart Communities contractor), the Association for Neighborhood and Housing Development, and the Urban Homesteading Assistance Board.

This event is the culmination of the 2010-'11 Managing Lean and Green series.

We welcome you to join the third annual Political Climate Change forum!
