Over the next three years, we propose creating Climate Jobs organizations in 11 additional states that have strong political leadership, a strong labor presence, and elected officials who are committed to making progress on climate change and reducing inequality.
CJNRC will work with each state table to identify the most fruitful avenues for climate action in each state in terms of maximizing emissions reductions, which could include strengthening state renewable portfolio standards, launching building retrofit initiatives for residential, commercial, and/or public buildings, expanding public transit infrastructure, making new investments in wind and solar, or improving energy efficiency at industrial and commercial spaces.
