It now only lacks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/governor-cuomos-green-new-deal\/\">Governor Andrew Cuomo\u2019s<\/a> signature.<\/p>\n<p>The new legislation will cut pollution across economic sectors, put New York on a path to net-zero emissions, codify New York\u2019s clean energy goals and help ensure an equitable transition to a low-carbon future. Furthermore, the safety and health of disadvantaged communities will be prioritized, controlling the potential regressive impacts of future climate change mitigation.<\/p>\n<p>The S6599 bill aims to address and reduce the effects of climate change by drastically cutting greenhouse gases, diverting the state\u2019s energy reliance to renewable energy and creating green jobs across New York State. Specifically, a 22-member Climate Action Council will be formed to design a program to achieve the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>source 70 percent of their electricity from renewable energy by 2030, up from the current 50 percent by 2030<\/li>\n<li>reach 100 percent zero-carbon electricity by 2040<\/li>\n<li>deploy 6,000 megawatts of distributed solar energy by 2025; 3,000 megawatts of energy storage by 2030 and 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind by 2035.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/is-nycs-green-buildings-bill-an-economic-killer\/\">New York<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/california-accelerates-its-climate-change-fight\/\">California<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/ma-includes-battery-storage-in-statewide-energy-efficiency-plan\/\">Massachusetts<\/a> are some of the country\u2019s most committed states to fighting the effects of climate change.
