Companies have caught on, and are increasingly adopting a gender-focused perspective to ensure that women’s contributions are represented as an integral part of the growing clean energy industry.

The renewable energy industry is on track to deploy more than USD 1trn in capital investment by 2030. Wind, solar, and energy storage already set annual capacity addition records in 2020, with momentum building to meet the robust targets laid out by the Biden administration as part of the economy-wide Build Back Better plan to hit net-zero emissions by 2050.

The agreement represents a transformative moment for organized labor and the clean energy industry and sets a model for labor-management cooperation and workforce development in the nascent offshore wind industry.

AEE has released a new report today quantifying the potential economic benefits of significant solar, EV, and energy efficiency investment in Florida.

In July, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden laid out his Build Back Better plan, an economic recovery agenda aimed at building a new, sustainable economy while creating millions of new jobs.

“I think there’s a new sense of urgency to build that just and equitable economy,” said John Podesta, former White House Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton, at this week's Climate Jobs NY (CJNY) Summit.
