Gov. Hochul Joins with U.S Climate Alliance Governors to Announce Climate-Ready Workforce Initiative

Governor Hochul: “We're not talking about some transition happening in the future, we're talking about it unfolding right now, and that's what we're so excited about. And we’re opening the doors to underrepresented communities. And I go to these job sites all the time and I want to see more women and people of color and the unions recognize this. That's where they're doing their recruiting, because these industries had been previously closed off to them.”
Hochul: “We're committed to this, we believe this is the missing link, that if we are intentional, put money behind it and work together as 24 states, there is no stopping us. And so I thank everyone for being part of this and there's no limit to what we're going to do together because we are the first generation to truly see the effects of climate change.”
