How Is KR 8.6 Tracking?

Our Economic Equity KR aims for cleantech job creation to outpace the number of jobs lost in fossil fuels.

In the transition to a clean economy, it’s essential that we strive for equity. Disadvantaged communities must be prioritized for training programs and new positions.

We can leave no one behind, including former coal miners and petroleum and natural gas workers. Higher-wage jobs in particular must be broadly and inclusively distributed.
