Fighting Climate Change While Building a Green Economy

Protect our Environment: Defending and conserving our environment--water, land and air--will ensure health and prosperity not only today, but for future generations of Vermonters.
Combat Climate Change: A forward-looking green economy will create new jobs and economic opportunities while helping Vermont mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Expand Vermont's Workforce: Our future lies in promoting a dynamic, diverse "green" economy. Vermont can and should lead the nation in tackling climate change while building the economy of the future. We need workforce training and new business opportunities in climate adaptation and mitigation, renewable energy, clean transportation, food and agriculture, tourism and outdoor recreation, small business, high tech and the arts. If we are proactive and creative about dealing with climate change, we can create new jobs, attract new residents, and provide far better options for young people to stay in Vermont and build a life here.
