New York City Comptroller Brad Lander's predecessor, Comptroller Brad Levine, has made significant strides in reducing the city's pension fund's carbon footprint. According to a recent announcement, the city's pension funds have made substantial progress in divesting from fossil fuels and investing in environmentally responsible assets. This effort is a key part of the city's goal to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. By transitioning its pension funds to sustainable investments, the city is not only reducing its carbon footprint but also setting a precedent for responsible and environmentally conscious investing practices.
