Urban Green Live: The Green Economy Action Plan (with NYCEDC's Nse Esema)
Join UGC for the next episode of Urban Green Live, a series featuring industry experts who share insights and then answer YOUR questions about a low carbon future.
On March 27, Nse Esema, SVP of NYCEDC's Green Economy team, will join Urban Green to discuss how NYC’s growing green workforce will accelerate building decarbonization efforts.
NYCEDC and the Mayor’s Office of Talent and Workforce Development just released the Green Economy Action Plan, a first-of-its-kind roadmap to growing NYC’s green economy. The plan identifies jobs and sectors that will help the City combat climate change. Its recommendations will help put New Yorkers -particularly those from environmentally disadvantaged communities - in a position to benefit from the nearly 400,000 ‘green-collar’ jobs expected in New York City by 2040. (And buildings-related work accounts for nearly half of these jobs.)
