Bicameral public Senate Climate Change Task Force discussion on Civilian Climate Corps proposals
Wednesday, June 23, 2021
Members of the Task Force,
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this testimony for the record.
In the American Jobs Plan, President Biden proposed a Civilian Climate Corps (CCC) in the spirit of the original Civilian Conservation Corps to: “Mobilize the next generation of conservation and resilience workers. This $10 billion investment will put a new, diverse generation of Americans to work conserving our public lands and waters, bolstering community resilience, and advancing environmental justice through a new Civilian Climate Corps, all while placing good-paying union jobs within reach for more Americans.”
