“One New York:  The Plan for a Strong and Just City’ is a comprehensive plan for a sustainable and resilient city for all New Yorkers that addresses the profound social, economic, and environmental changes ahead.  It sets measurable goals for tackling those challenges including a poverty reduction target of 800,000 New Yorkers by 2025, zero waste to landfills by 2030, and the elimination of long-term displacement from homes and jobs after shock events by 2050.
