"Within weeks, the US will deploy 9,000 people to begin restoring landscapes, erecting #SolarPanels, and taking other steps to help guide the country toward a greener future... The #ClimateCorps was among the first things #Biden announced as president, but it took a while to secure funding, get started. More than 20,000 young people are expected to join during the first year"

Q&A: Thousands of American #ClimateCorps Jobs Are Now Open. What Will the New Program Look Like? https://insideclimatenews.org/news/27042024/biden-american-climate-corps-jobs/

"Right now you can go on to https://climatecorps.gov and apply; we have about 2,000 positions listed with lots and lots more on the way... No matter what implementing partner that they’re being hosted in, all have some kind of #climate or environmental impact. That means climate, it means #CleanEnergy, it means #ClimateResilience"

#Biden Is Marking #EarthDay by Announcing $7 Billion in #SolarPower Grants
President Joe Biden travels to Triangle, Virginia, Monday to mark Earth Day, where he'll unveil $7 billion in grant funding for #solar power under the #InflationReductionAct and announce new steps to stand up his administration's American #ClimateCorps -- a program popular with youth #climate groups.

I learned a bunch about the American #ClimateCorps from folks at the Corps Network. Something that surprised me was that it was only very recently that workforce efforts and climate efforts had major policy alignment.

Young adults show heavy interest in #Biden's "#ClimateCorps" https://www.axios.com/2023/12/01/biden-climate-corps

"Even before formal applications open, over 2,500 young people have signaled interest in joining a major unit of the federal #AmericanClimateCorps program. This is an early metric of the Biden administration's ability to transform its recently unveiled ACC into a meaningful initiative... It aims to bring youth into #CleanEnergy and #climate resilience jobs — and create paths to future #employment."

Current Vancouver city council (majority #ABCVancouver) rejected a motion to support #ClimateAction projects. Why?

Why is the BC Youth #ClimateCorps not supported to build *their* sustainable future?

* 78% adult Canadians would "back/accept launch of a National Climate Corps"

* 2/3rds of 18-35 yr old Canadians consider joining, 15% 'definitely' consider

"US is about to embark on an experiment inspired by one of the #NewDeal’s most popular programs... Biden's new program is expected to hire 20,000 people in its first year for #RenewableEnergy projects and #EcologicalRestoration... Reviving the Civilian Conservation Corps is widely popular, with 84 percent of Americans supporting the idea"

"President #Biden is announcing a new initiative to train young people in high-demand skills for #jobs in the clean energy economy. The American #ClimateCorps will put a new generation of Americans to work conserving our lands and waters, bolstering community resilience, advancing environmental justice, deploying clean energy, implementing energy efficient technologies, and tackling #ClimateChange."

#ClimateCrisis

#America's new #ClimateCorps will need to be a lot bigger
Climate Corps is rebirth of #CivilianConservationCorps, which put 3M to work during #GreatDepression developing #nationalparks, building roads & trails, & managing #forests. Mountain towns need hands to clear dead vegetation fueling bigger #wildfires. Coastal communities need help restoring seaside ecosystems that absorb storm surge. Urban areas need people & funds to plant trees, mitigating “heat island effect”

#US Is Mobilizing an Army to Fight the #ClimateCrisis
American #ClimateCorps will employ tens of thousands to prepare the country for the pain ahead. But it'll need to get much, much bigger. The #CivilianConservationCorps put 3M people to work during the #GreatDepression developing the #nationalparks, building roads and trails, and managing #forests. The additional goal of the Climate Corps is decarbonization—which will in turn create more jobs by juicing green economy

#Biden launches #ClimateCorps that will create 20,000 #jobs
#AmericanClimateCorps was originally included in #InflationReductionAct, but was dropped because of Republican opposition. #Climate Corps members complete a paid training program so that they can go on to jobs in public and private sectors. US is going to need thousands of skilled workers to ensure rapidly growing #cleanenergy economy, and it deserves nothing less than government-backed deployment of this scale

This is such a good idea, hire students in tech to get involved in fire detection software, etcetc, only bigger can ve better.

Sing praises for the Climate Corps, demand increases in size of the program. Connect it with the Army Corps of Engineers the NOIA and NASA. Work training to save the world.

Aye.
