Mamdani Stays Mum on Albany Climate Fight

Many climate activists are pressing Mamdani to take a stronger stance in what has become a defining fight over New York’s climate agenda. “I’d love to see the mayor out there being really clear about what the repercussions for New York City’s efforts are if the state weakens its climate policy,” said Stephan Edel, executive director of NY Renews, the coalition that led the push for the CLCPA. “It is certainly not the stirring endorsement that we would hope for from a progressive champion.”
