Public Comment
Period Open for City's Environmental Justice Report

We want to
hear from you!

The

NYC Environmental Justice Advisory Board, the

Mayor's Office of Climate and Sustainability,
and an interagency working group of 19 city agencies are
working on the City's first comprehensive

study of environmental justice, and we need
input from our fellow New Yorkers.

New Yorkers have the right to live in communities free
of harmful environmental conditions. The draft scope of
this new Environmental Justice Report was shaped by
feedback from over 1,000 New Yorkers on the climate,
environmental, and health issues that impact their
communities. A second public comment period is now open
allowing us to hear from more New Yorkers to ensure that
the report represents all of our communities.

Learn more about the draft scope, submit your
comments, and register for the

Environmental Justice Town Hall to make your
voice heard.
