Director's Message

Welcome to the Mayor’s Office of Environmental Coordination (MOEC). MOEC is an interdisciplinary team of attorneys, planners, scientists and tech professionals who lead the City’s environmental impact review process – City Environmental Quality Review or “CEQR” – to ensure that the delivery of critical infrastructure, planning, and policy projects is transparent and protective of the environment and health of our communities. The team also oversees the City’s compliance with green building laws to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions across the City capital project portfolio. As part of the Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice (MOCEJ), MOEC’s focus is to improve the health and quality of life for NYC communities while preparing for climate challenges.

 As MOEC’s Director and General Counsel, it is an honor to serve the City and to advance environment protection and climate goals for my fellow New Yorkers. I look forward to collaborating with you as we work to improve and save lives in the greatest city in the world.
