The Climate Jobs New York (CJNY) union in conjunction with Cornell University released a report outlining recommendations to Mayor Eric Adams’ administration as well as examining the impact of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic on NYC workers and schools.

The report, supported by numerous unions including 32BJ – the union that represents the nearly 5,000 cleaners and handypersons at NYC public schools – offers numerous alternatives and recommendations to city government in order to build an equitable clean energy economy.
