Florida bans local governments from pursuing net-zero emissions goals
摘要
佛罗里达州新法HB 1217禁止地方政府推行净零排放目标。此前，该州至少10个市县已实施相关政策，包括劳德代尔堡、迈阿密、奥兰多及州府塔拉哈西所在的莱昂县。法律专家指出，该禁令主要意图在于威慑地方政府，但其确切影响和禁止范围仍存争议，减排及气候变化应对政策可能不受直接影响。
A new state law limits Florida communities’ aims to offset greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the global climate and intensifying disasters such as hurricanes.
Specifically, HB 1217 prohibits local governments from pursuing net-zero emissions goals. At least 10 cities and counties have implemented such policies, including Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, and Leon County, where Tallahassee, the state capital, is located. But the new law will not necessarily upend these policies, said Bradley Marshall, senior attorney at Earthjustice, an advocacy group.
“It’s certainly meant to scare municipalities and local governments from trying to do things to further net-zero policies,” he said. “Now, its exact impact and what it exactly prohibits is probably up for some debate. Things that are adjacent to it—emissions reductions and even climate change reduction policies—on their face will not run afoul at all of a ban on adopting a net zero policy.”
