    Considered the most progressive climate laws in North America, New York City’s 2019 ‘Local Law 97’ is designed to aggressively reduce the city’s overall carbon emissions by 40% by the end of this decade, and 80% by 2050 – targeting buildings in all asset classes, future and existing.
     
    Aligned with the controversial Green New Deal agenda, Local Law 97 is intended to be a cornerstone of outgoing Mayor de Blasio's legacy. But is such a standard achievable – and should Canadian municipalities realistically embrace such ambition, factoring economics, affordability concerns etc.?
     
    Put another way, do we have a choice?
     
    Join ULI Toronto to get under the hood of Local Law 97, and the opportunities and challenges of achieving such a standard in the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
