Biden's American Climate Corps: A Legacy for a Stronger, Greener Future

President Biden has launched the American Climate Corps, a program that aims to put tens of thousands of Americans to work in the fight against climate change. Inspired by President Roosevelt's Civilian Conservation Corps, the American Climate Corps will focus on creating jobs, building resilient communities, and addressing the country's under-invested infrastructure needs. The program will be implemented through federal agencies and existing corps, and projects could include repairing national parks, preventing wildfires, restoring wetlands, and retrofitting buildings for energy efficiency. The American Climate Corps will prioritize racial equality and frontline communities, providing workforce training and pre-apprenticeship programs to connect job seekers with the growing demand for clean energy workers.

"Biden's Climate Corps: Training 20,000 Young People for Green Jobs"

President Joe Biden has launched the American Climate Corps program, aiming to train 20,000 young people for climate-focused jobs in clean energy, land restoration, and forest management. The program seeks to provide skills-based training and serve as a pipeline for participants to secure green jobs. This executive action follows Biden's previous proposal for a $30 billion Civilian Climate Corps, which was not included in the Inflation Reduction Act. The launch comes after 51 congress members urged Biden to revive the Civilian Climate Corps through an executive order.
