Mamdani’s team is making moves 🌇, with NYC’s Chief Climate Officer Louise Yeung

In honor of NYC Climate Week, we’re diving into the climate initiatives happening right here in this city. There is so much going on.

Our guest is Louise Yeung, New York City’s Chief Climate Officer.

We interviewed Louise to give you a real sense of what we actually get when we elect someone who is committed to climate justice. Spoiler: We get a lot of good stuff!

We covered everything from battery-powered food carts, to heat pumps in public housing, to BRT (bus rapid transit, we love it), to social cohesion as a resilience strategy.

We also touched on the fact that Mayor Mamdani, despite being informed and committed, doesn’t really talk about climate very much, and asked Louise if she could help change that.🤞🏽

Louise’s Hot Take 🥵🌎 — Policy-making is an act of love.

We hope this will help motivate you to go all-in for these last six weeks until Election Day.
