  • Environmental issues in New York City are affected by the city's size, density, abundant public transportation infrastructure, and location at the mouth of the Hudson River. New York's population density has environmental pros and cons. It facilitates the highest mass transit use in the United States, but also concentrates pollution. Factors that affect the population’s Daily behavior. Gasoline consumption in the city is at the rate the national average was in the 1920s, and greenhouse gas emissions are a fraction of the national average, at 7.1 metric tons per person per year, below San Francisco, at 11.2 metric tons, and the national average, at 24.5 metric tons. New York City accounts for only 1% of United States greenhouse gas emissions while housing 2.7% of its population.In September 2012, New York was named the #1 "America's Dirtiest City," by a Travel+Leisure readership survey that rated the environmental quality of 35 prominent cities in the United States. Governors Island in New York Harbor is planned to host a US$1 billion research and education center poised to make New York City the global leader in addressing the climate crisis. (en)
  • Compte tenu de la puissance économique, de la superficie et de la population de la ville de New York, les questions écologiques sont au cœur des politiques municipales de la métropole américaine. Comme les autres grandes villes du monde, l’environnement à New York est marqué par des problèmes de pollution, de gestion des déchets et de l'eau. Par son poids et son rayonnement, elle joue un rôle important dans les politiques environnementales du pays et de la planète. (fr)
  • Miljö- och hälsofrågor i New York hänger främst ihop med befolkningskoncentrationen och dess läge vid Hudsonflodens mynning. Befolkningskoncentrationen har både miljömässiga för- och nackdelar. Till fördelarna hör att det har underlättat för kollektivtrafikens utbyggnad. En nackdel är att utsläppen koncentreras. (sv)
