This was a truly immersive panel to witness, and a strong testament to the continued work being done in New York State to commit to strong climate action.
I was thrilled to join Assemblymember @stefanizinerman, @OGSCommissioner Moy, & so many of our state partners to discuss @SUNY's commitment to climate action at #SOMOS2024. SUNY's draft Climate & Sustainability Action Plan outlines our path towards net-zero emissions & zero-waste, our commitment to climate research & education, and our efforts to build a green workforce. As we advance these efforts, we will continue to advance our commitment to Puerto Rico alongside NYS.
The work of This Is Planet Ed is
both necessary and inspiring. Iโm grateful to be a part of such initiatives to build a climate
smart nation. Today that included great collaborative discussions and introductions from co-chair @SUNYChancellor. (https://t.co/JH3IQrdEKe)
