Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Community Program Implementation )
Existing Examples of Progress: Conservation Corps: Used as a workforce entry point for disadvantaged youth, envisioned as a way to bridge outdoor resilience (landscaping, stormwater, soil health) and indoor retrofits (energy efficiency, solar, electrification) Climate Beautiful grant: Provides a real-world example of training local youth and residents in solar installation, while directly delivering no-cost upgrades to households. It’s framed as a promising but fragile model, because it relies on state grant cycles.
