Green Jobs Report

Many countries are talking about using some form of green new deal to help drive economic recovery.  But what's happening right now?  And are "green jobs" or other jobs more prevalent in expanding economies. 

We'll also learn how local leaders are taking action to drive towards 100% renewable energy, and to pursue their own local "green new deals," with insights from campaigns in Columbus, Ohio.

We will discuss the following questions:
  • Are green jobs going up or down during a recession?
  • Which jobs are being lost during the COVID-19 pandemic?
  • How can we take local action to build a greener economy?
