Meetings and Materials
The Climate Action Council is responsible for developing a Scoping Plan to reduce New York’s greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent by 2030 and no less than 85 percent by 2050. The Council will be supported by a Just Transition Working Group and sector-specific Advisory Panels, whose members will contribute a diversity of expertise in drafting a suite of recommendations for the Council's Scoping Plan. Together, these groups will determine the emissions reductions strategies necessary to combat climate change, ensuring that the most vulnerable among us benefit from clean energy and guaranteeing that New Yorkers thrive in the low-carbon economy.

Just Transition Working Group Jobs Study
The 2021 Just Transition Working Group Jobs Study (Jobs Study) is required by New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (Climate Act) to provide a robust understanding of the impacts of climate change mitigation, to assess potential effects on the job market, and to understand impacts to training, education, and workforce development.
Information from the Climate Act provided the foundation for the Jobs Study, supporting the development of research objectives, methodology, and deliverables. The objectives of the study, as outlined in the legislation, are to:
- Measure the number of jobs created in various sectors to counter climate change, which include but are not limited to the energy, building, and working lands sectors
- Examine projection of the inventory of jobs needed and skills and training required to meet the demand of jobs to counter climate change, and examine the projected workforce disruption due to community transitions from a low-carbon economy
- Advise the Climate Action Council on issues and opportunities for workforce development and training related to energy efficiency measures, renewable energy, and other clean energy technologies, with specific focus on training and workforce opportunity for disadvantaged communities and segments of the population that may be underrepresented in the clean energy workforce, such as veterans, women, and formerly incarcerated persons
