Rep. Jayapal’s Climate Resilience Workforce Act builds the skilled, equitable, and necessary workforce that America needs to achieve climate resilience while creating millions of good-paying, union jobs and centering the communities who are disproportionately affected by the worsening climate crisis. This intersectional proposal also funds the development of regional, state, local, and community- based climate resilience action plans. Additionally, it creates an Office of Climate Resilience within the White House, starts new workforce development programs, and removes barriers to employment.
