CEP is proud to be a convenor for the 2010 Good Jobs, Green Jobs National Conference, May 4-6 in Washington, D.C.

The 2010 Conference will include three days of workshops, plenaries and prominent keynotes, as well as the Green Jobs Expo.

Goals for the 2010 Conference:

  • Provide a forum for labor, environment and businesses to turn ideas into action and build a revitalized, green economy in the United States;
  • Demonstrate the diversity of the coalition supporting the creation of good, green jobs;
  • Showcase the successes of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the ideas and strategies that have already been implemented;
  • Underscore the breadth of private-sector green investment and job creation;
  • Identify additional federal and state policy tools to accelerate the growth of the green economy and the creation of clean energy jobs;
  • Highlight strategies for rebuilding the middle class and creating opportunities for underserved and underemployed communities with clean energy investments; and
  • Model partnerships between federal agencies, the private sector and local interests.

The 2009 Good Jobs, Green Jobs National Conference brought together nearly 3,000 labor, environmental and business advocates to share ideas and strategies for building a new, green economy. It was convened by 120 labor unions, environmental organizations, non-profits and businesses, and featured speeches from U.S. EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, Senators Sherrod Brown, Amy Klobuchar and Debbie Stabenow, and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner.
