  + stars: | 2023-12-19 | by ( Lucas Thompson | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
US President Joe Biden speaks alongside Ritika Shah, award-winner of the first-ever National Climate Assessment Art x Climate competition, about his administrations actions to combat climate change in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House in Washington, DC, November 14, 2023. The highly anticipated first steps for the American Climate Corps, or ACC, were shared exclusively with NBC News on Tuesday, as the administration seeks to launch the first cohort by next summer. After facing setbacks in Congress, the Biden administration has unlocked funding to launch its American Climate Corps, a new federal program that looks to employ thousands of young Americans in the clean energy, conservation and climate resilience sectors. The White House now hopes to use funds for climate-minded programs across multiple agencies to carry out the vision of the American Climate Corps. Five states — California, Colorado, Maine, Michigan and Washington — have already launched climate corps programs, and the federal program will lean on them as implementing partners.

Biden launched the American Climate Corps to create jobs and address the climate crisis. The program is similar to the Civilian Conservation Corps, a Depression-era work relief plan by FDR. The CCC employed over 2.5 million men in the nine years it existed and planted 3 billion trees. Modeled after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1933 Civilian Climate Corps, Biden's program aims to employ about 20,000 young adults. Take a look back into the camps of the Civilian Conservation Corps.

☆ Biden launches paid program for 20,000 young people to train for green jobs
  + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Rebecca Picciotto | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
The White House on Wednesday announced a program that will aim to train 20,000 young people for climate-focused jobs related to clean energy, land restoration, forest management and more. In addition to training, the program also intends to be a pipeline for participants to get hired into green jobs. In 2021, he proposed spending $30 billion on a Civilian Climate Corps, which would have had over 300,000 members, as a part of the larger Build Back Better Act bill, the framework of Biden's climate agenda. The Civilian Climate Corps appeared to be a modern version of the New Deal-era Civilian Conservation Corps, a program for unmarried young men to train for jobs in public land and forest improvement. The White House didn't announce how much it was spending on the program.

☆ Biden Is Using Executive Power to Create a New Deal-Style American Climate Corps
  + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Associated Press | Sept. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +4 min
WASHINGTON (AP) — After being thwarted by Congress, President Joe Biden will use his executive authority to create a New Deal-style American Climate Corps that will serve as a major green jobs training program. The climate corps had been proposed in early versions of the sweeping climate law approved last year but was jettisoned amid strong opposition from Republicans and concerns about cost. Democrats and environmental advocacy groups never gave up on the plan and pushed Biden in recent weeks to issue an executive order authorizing what the White House now calls the American Climate Corps. White House climate adviser Ali Zaidi said the administration will work with at least six federal agencies to create the climate corps and will pair with at least 10 states. California, Colorado, Maine, Michigan and Washington have already begun similar programs, while five more are launching their own climate corps, Zaidi said: Arizona, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina and Utah.
