But a new report by the New York League of Conservation Voters Education Fund concludes that the administration should prioritize its actions in the next 20 months to ensure that future city administrations continue and enhance the effort to create a greener New York City.

“Building a Greener Future: A Progress Report on New York City’s Sustainability Initiatives,” also serves as a roadmap to broaden the city’s environmental efforts beyond PlaNYC, to embrace the creation of green-collar jobs and tackle the mounting problems caused by solid waste. The report was funded by the New York Community Trust, the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation and the Scherman Foundation.
