Over 125 participants have taken the NYC Carbon Challenge pledge, including the City’s largest universities, hospitals, commercial owners and tenants, residential property management firms, hotels, and retail organizations. Twenty-one participants have already met the 30 percent goal, and 19 universities, hospitals, and commercial offices have expanded their commitment to a 50 percent or greater reduction by 2025. Others have made even greater commitments: 13 leading participants have committed to achieving Carbon Neutrality in select buildings within their NYC portfolios by 2030. Partners in this program expansion include Barclays, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Empire State Realty Trust Inc, Google, InterContinental New York Barclay, JB&B, Lowes Regency Hotel, Marion Scott Real Estate Inc, RiseBoro Community Partnership, StuyTown Property Services, The Westin New York at Times Square, and Yeshiva University.
전체적으로 참가자들은 연간 600,000미터톤 이상의 탄소 배출량을 줄였으며 에너지 비용 절감으로 연간 총 $2억 이상을 절약하고 있습니다. 프로그램이 끝날 때까지 현재 참가자들은 도시 전체의 이산화탄소 배출량을 거의 1,500,000미터톤(도로에서 300,000대 이상의 자동차를 제거하는 것과 동일)까지 줄이고 약 $7억의 에너지 비용을 절감할 것으로 예상됩니다.
