Clean Economy Study Reveals Substantial Job Creation Potential for the West Coast
Clean economic growth has the potential to raise GDP contributions to $142.7 billion in the United States' West Coast region by 2020, growing clean economy jobs by 200 percent over current numbers, according to a report published by Globe Advisors with RBF grantee the Center for Climate Strategies. The report, The West Coast Clean Economy: Opportunities for Investment & Accelerated Job Creation, was commissioned by the Pacific Coast Collaborative. It identifies three key sectors with the highest potential for job growth: energy efficiency and green building, environmental protection and resource management, and clean transportation.
