Zabin’s report offers the state of California a vision for integrating economic and workforce development into major climate policies and programs in order to help achieve California’s major climate goals. She argues for investing in growing, diversifying, and upskilling California’s workforce to help achieve climate goals while achieving greater social equity and promoting long-term environmental sustainability and climate resilience.
