Today we present a portion of a forum on implementing New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act The forum focused on how the protection and management of New York’s natural resources can help reach the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions statewide by 2050. It was produced at Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law and presented via Zoom on January 14. The forum focused on two areas:  How protecting nature helps with climate change mitigation and adaptation    and                                                                                   How New York farms can help fight climate change through techniques including carbon sequestration and anaerobic digestors for organic waste .    Listen here for a portion of the forum A video of the complete forum is available at  https://www.youtube.com/user/NYLCV/videos
