The city is facing a serious fiscal crisis, and it is more important than ever to advance a broad sustainability agenda that will reduce energy use, foster energy independence, create a sustainable solid waste management system and build a foundation for economic success.

Taken together, our recommendations promote smarter growth and more sustainable lifestyles in the five boroughs.

Here are the issues we believe New York City must act upon:

• Green Buildings & Green Jobs 
• Solid Waste Management 
• Transportation & Parking Reform 
• Create a Sustainable Administrative Infrastructure
