New York Governor Kathy Hochul wants to push back the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets set in the 2019 climate law. According to this law, the reduction was supposed to reach 40% by 2030. However, Governor Hochul estimates that this is too ambitious.
The Governor Questions the Feasibility of the Targets
The Governor Hochul has already indicated several times that reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a major challenge for the state. She now wants to push back the 2030 target to a later date. This decision could have significant consequences for the state's climate policy.
