Proposed Session Description
An urgent and aggressive response to climate change and a clean economy requires a massive labor mobilization of a latent workforce which has been devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic. President Biden has indicated support for a 21st century version of the original Civilian Conservation Corps. How can the Civilian Climate Corps (CCC) operationally optimize and employ an equitable and diverse group of 1 million Americans in 4 years to complete clean energy, climate resilience, conservation, and sustainable infrastructure projects, while providing education, training, and career pathways in good-paying union jobs.
