Americans don’t have to choose between creating good jobs and protecting the environment. We can and must do both.

Clean Jobs

Innovating, building and installing the clean economy—clean energy, energy efficiency, safe chemicals, and clean vehicles—is protecting the environment while creating quality jobs across the country and ensuring the health of workers and the environment.

At a time when money was tight, one county in Michigan found a way to provide much needed energy and water efficiency upgrades to their buildings—creating quality local jobs, reducing pollution, and saving taxpayers' money along the way.

Clean Infrastructure

Repairing America's infrastructure is a significant opportunity to create quality jobs. But it's also an opportunity to rebuild these systems to protect the health of workers and communities, to reduce carbon and methane emissions, and to build a stronger, more resilient system for the future.

In California, the BlueGreen Alliance worked with labor unions and environmental organizations to help enact SB 1371, which compels the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) to improve leak identification, repair, and avoidance, as well as better account for the climate change impact of natural gas leaks in the state’s natural gas distribution systems.

Fair Trade

We can only achieve a thriving and fair clean economy if our international trade and climate agreements raise standards for workers, consumers, and the environment.

Throughout our history, the BlueGreen Alliance has worked not just domestically, but also on the international stage with leaders of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to find solutions for climate change that also create economic opportunity and a just transition for those impacted by this move to a clean, low-carbon economy.
