The 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) requires New York to transition its electric grid to 100% zero-emission sources by 2040, and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to adopt economy-wide regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) to 85% below 1990 levels by 2050. Despite controversial 2026 amendments to the Act’s other milestones, these two core features of CLCPA remain in place.
