From awareness to action: How communities are driving and benefiting from clean energy jobs
The communities that engage earliest with the clean energy transition benefit most deeply from it. But community engagement does not happen automatically. It requires deliberate investment in workforce development, accessible training, and policies that channel economic benefit back to the localities where energy is generated.
