A report from the Center for an Urban Future revealed a significant decline in green job opportunities in New York City, dropping from 19,476 in 2022 to 15,501 in 2023. Although green jobs made up a growing portion of total job postings, the recent decrease indicates that the city's green economy is not fully developed. Challenges include slow transitions from fossil fuels and underwhelming renewable energy output. The city aims for 400,000 green jobs by 2040 as part of its "Green Economy Action Plan," but progress remains to be assessed.
New York City has ambitious plans for its green economy with expected growth to nearly 400,000 jobs by 2040, but recent job numbers show concerning declines.
The transition away from fossil fuels is happening slowly, with both solar and wind energy struggling to reach their full potential, posing risks for future job creation.
