CJNY organized to win significant climate investments in offshore wind infrastructure, trained union members on the science of climate change, and passed landmark legislation to ensure the state\u2019s significant investments in renewable energy create good union jobs with strong worker protections and labor standards.<\/p>\n<p>Early success in New York paved the way for the growth of the climate jobs movement nationwide. We launched as a national organization in 2020. Since that time, our network has grown to include labor-led coalitions in Connecticut, Illinois, Rhode Island, Texas, and Maine. Our national advisory board includes national unions and state labor leaders.<\/p>\n<h1>Our Approach<\/h1>\n<p>We provide strategic and technical support to unions organizing for worker-centered climate action. In collaboration with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilr.cornell.edu\/climate-jobs-institute\">Climate Jobs Institute<\/a>\u00a0at Cornell University\u2019s ILR School, we work in close collaboration with the unions to develop state-specific science-based climate action plans. We then support unions in establishing state coalitions, organizing around their plans, and building strategic campaigns to win each plan\u2019s implementation. Our staff is skilled in mobilizing resources, experienced in labor and policy advocacy, and knowledgeable in climate science.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Our Mission<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mission of the Climate Jobs National Resource Center (CJNRC) is to educate workers and the public about policies that will build a clean energy economy at the scale climate science demands, create good union jobs, and create more equitable communities.
