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

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

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.

• 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?

• Justine Burt, Founder & CEO of Appraccel sustainability consulting, Author of “The Great Pivot: Creating Meaningful Work to Build a Sustainable Future”
