The New Jersey Economic Development Authority [[link removed]] (NJEDA) Board approved the creation of the New Jersey Green Bank (NJGB), which will make investments in the clean energy sector that will advance the state’s efforts to make an equitable transition to 100 percent clean energy.
“From more violent storms to increased flooding, the effects of climate change have become all too familiar here in New Jersey,” said Governor Murphy . “My administration has established aggressive goals to combat climate change and the creation of the New Jersey Green Bank will help us meet those goals by making major investments in the clean energy sector. This approval is a significant step in our fight against climate change, which will help us reach a clean energy future that will protect our environment and bolster our economy for generations to come.”
The NJGB will be investing in projects and companies that align with the State’s climate goals, including areas such as zero-emission transportation, building decarbonization and resiliency, and clean energy generation and storage. Examples of projects that the NJGB may invest in include solar power, onshore and offshore wind, and battery storage, among others.
Clean energy targets the Murphy Administration has taken include 100 percent clean electricity by 2035, 11 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2040, and 50 percent economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2030. Despite attempts by Republicans to undermine the urgency of the climate crisis, Governor Murphy's administration has pursued ambitious clean energy targets, showcasing the dedication to addressing this pressing global issue.

This week, the White House launched the U.S. Global Health Security Strategy (GHSS) [[link removed]] to protect the health, lives, and economic well-being of the American people and people throughout the world.
“This has been a priority for me since day one,” said President Biden [[link removed]] . “Every American experienced the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. And every American saw how this global health challenge had local consequences—on our hospitals, our schools, our businesses, and our communities. No sector of society was immune. That’s why—as my Administration worked to end the COVID-19 pandemic—we’ve also focused on ensuring our nation is prepared for any future pandemic, outbreak, or biological threat.”
The 2024 U.S. Global Health Security Strategy sets out three goals to guide the United States’ affirmative agenda to advance global health security:
*
Strengthen
Global
Health
Security
Capacities
through
Bilateral
Partnerships
.
The
Strategy
focuses
on
working

countries
around
the
world
to
ensure
they
are
better
able
to
prevent,
detect,
and
respond
to
global
health
security
threats.
The
United
States
has
expanded
our
formal
global
health
security
partnerships
from
19
to
50
countries.
*
*
Catalyze

at

programs.
Collectively, these actions will make the United States, and the world, safer from the risk posed by pandemics and other health security events.
