New program to help NY hospitals that sharply reduce carbon emissions

Gov. Kathy Hochul has introduced a first in the nation program aimed at helping New York hospitals achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The voluntary pilot program provides premium credits of up to $1 million to hospitals that pledge to develop a climate action plan to monitor, report, and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance their resilience to extreme weather events.
