“This Action Plan expands upon our efforts in the fight to protect our environment with actionable steps to mitigate climate change, increase resiliency, invest in a green economy, and ensure equity,” Mayor Steven Fulop said in a statement.
“The consequences of climate change disproportionately impact minority and low-income communities, and so it is especially important for Jersey City to continue our aggressive and progressive efforts by incorporating community feedback to address our environment’s worst health offenders.”
High impact actions for reducing GHG emissions under the plan include:
· Requiring 100% clean energy for municipal facilities by 2030.
