New York sued over delays on climate change law

New York is being sued by four environmental and climate justice groups for delays in enforcing its climate law, the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act , which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
The lawsuit claims that New York is violating its legal obligations by not releasing necessary rules for cap-and-invest, a carbon pricing program aimed at reducing emissions significantly.
Local families and climate advocacy groups have expressed frustration with the stalled climate action and lack of transparency regarding the draft regulations.
The lawsuit alleges that New York's delay violates residents' constitutional rights to clean air and water, and a healthful environment as established by the Green Amendment approved in 2021.
