Hosted by the U.S. Green Building Council in partnership with the BlueGreen Alliance, BlueGreen Alliance Canada and the Center for American Progress, the second annual Green Jobs Summit provided a forum to develop a shared plan of action to accelerate the creation of green jobs in a clean energy economy. The half-day event convened key leaders, experts, advocates, and practitioners from government, business, labor and the public for in-depth and interactive conversations to advance the green jobs movement. Educational sessions designed for maximum participant engagement addressed both the challenges and solutions in driving green job demand, focusing on four topic areas: finance and business development; policies, research and governance; field organizing and community engagement; and messaging and communications.
