Are We Fostering a Just Transition and Green Jobs for All?

An open conversation to discuss our community’s focus on an equitable transition.

  • Thurs Feb 20, 3:00–5:00pm 

  • CZI Community Space, Redwood Room, 801 Jefferson Avenue Redwood City, CA, 94063

Can we create high-paying green jobs while curbing greenhouse gas emissions locally? Are local leaders seeking this two-goal approach and a just transition to more sustainable commerce?

 Join us for a community conversation to discuss these equity-based challenges and solutions including job training and outreach to low-income and communities of color.

 Questions posed include:

  • Which climate mitigation projects will add green jobs?

  • How will they be publicized and who will fill them?

  • How will job trainers prepare the workforce?
