Mission Statement

Urban Green Council is the New York affiliate of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Our mission is to transform NYC buildings for a sustainable future. We believe the critical issue facing the world today is climate change. Our focus on climate change requires us to focus on energy and other resource management. As we improve energy and other resource management, we can deliver a more resilient, efficient, healthy and affordable city.

Description

Urban Green Council’s mission is to transform buildings for a sustainable future. We help New York City and State develop cutting-edge policy, we educate a broad range of professionals, and we research solutions that are amplified through coverage in major publications like The New York Times. By working with both government and industry, we leverage our effectiveness.

Urban Green pursues activities that have scalable impact: We focus exclusively on buildings, which account for 66 percent of New York City’s emissions, and 52 percent of NY State’s.
