Urban Green Live Episode 21: The Green Economy Action Plan (w/ Nse Esema)

The Green Economy Action Plan is a first-of-its-kind roadmap to growing NYC’s green economy. The plan identifies the jobs and sectors that will help the city combat climate change. And its recommendations will help put New Yorkers—particularly those from environmentally disadvantaged communities—in a position to benefit from the nearly 400,000 ‘green-collar’ jobs expected in New York City by 2040.

With buildings-related work accounting for nearly half of these jobs, we’re excited to welcome Nse Esema, Senior Vice President of the Green Economy team at NYCEDC, to Urban Green Live. In this episode, Nse and Urban Green CEO John Mandyck unpack the plan and discuss how NYC’s growing green workforce will accelerate building decarbonization efforts.
