With smart investments in new clean energy infrastructure, we can help put Americans across the country back to work while tackling climate change at the same time. Forthcoming analysis by World Resources Institute finds that clean energy jobs are already a powerful economic engine for middle America, with clean energy jobs growing faster in rural counties compared to urban areas and employing far more workers than the fossil fuel industry.
And as WRI's new Just Transition Resource Center shows, there are many examples of how just transition initiatives in the U.S. and around the world can make this economic transformation work for everyone.
Passing a major infrastructure investment package through Congress would provide a huge opportunity to build back better, create high-quality union jobs and ensure a just transition for people that have too often been left behind such as rural Americans, blue-collar workers and communities impacted by the decline of the fossil fuel industry.
Join White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy, World Resources Institute, the Blue Green Alliance, AFL-CIO, Ørsted and E2 on April 19 for a lively conversation about the urgent need for big investments in our clean energy infrastructure to put Americans to work and ensure everyone is lifted up in a transition to a prosperous, 21st century economy.

Dennis Dougherty, Executive Director, Colorado AFL-CIO
