TL;DR

President Joe Biden has launched the American Climate Corps program, aiming to train 20,000 young people for climate-focused jobs in clean energy, land restoration, and forest management. The program seeks to provide skills-based training and serve as a pipeline for participants to secure green jobs. This executive action follows Biden's previous proposal for a $30 billion Civilian Climate Corps, which was not included in the Inflation Reduction Act. The launch comes after 51 congress members urged Biden to revive the Civilian Climate Corps through an executive order.
