Climate Impact: Local vs Federal vs Global

​New York is trying to cut emissions while keeping lights on and rents payable. What actually works fastest and sticks longest: city rules and permitting, federal money and standards, or global deals and supply chains. Join Unmuted for a candid debate with Frederick Bell (Advocate for State/Federal climate policy), Sage Lenier (Founder, Futureline), and Daniel Ortega (Executive Director, New Yorkers for Affordable Energy). Expect clear cases for local, federal, and global action, and a real test of what moves tons per dollar and gets built in the real world

​We will pressure-test the tradeoffs: zoning and transmission siting, IRA-style incentives and EPA rules, carbon clubs and border adjustments. Where do timelines, costs, and politics line up, and where do they collide. Come ready with questions and leave with a sharper view of which lever to pull first in New York and beyond.
