Global WarmingJust the tip of the Iceberg
Our journey toward a Green Collar Economy:
1. Reducing our dependence on dirty energy
2. Developing our clean energy infrastructure
![Page 5: Code Green The New Red, White, and Blue. Overview Introduction: – Global Concerns – Defining Code Green Three Tipping Points 1.The Politics 2.Innovation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e915503460f94b95c46/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Green Economy
The green economy encompasses the economic activity related to reducing the use
of fossil fuels, decreasing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the
efficiency of energy usage, recycling materials, and developing and adopting
renewable sources of energy.
![Page 6: Code Green The New Red, White, and Blue. Overview Introduction: – Global Concerns – Defining Code Green Three Tipping Points 1.The Politics 2.Innovation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e915503460f94b95c46/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Green Employment
The “greening” of occupations refers to the extent to which green economy activities
and technologies increase the demand for existing occupations, shape the work and
worker requirements needed for occupational performance, or generate unique work
and worker requirements.
![Page 7: Code Green The New Red, White, and Blue. Overview Introduction: – Global Concerns – Defining Code Green Three Tipping Points 1.The Politics 2.Innovation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e915503460f94b95c46/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Impact of Code Green1. Green Increased Demand Occupations:
the work context changes not the tasks
2. Green Enhanced Skills Occupations:Tasks, skills, knowledge, credentials change
3. Green New and Emerging (N&E) Occupations:Creates the need for unique work and worker requirements – new occupations from existing

Who will take the leadChina is committed to overtaking the US in
electric cars, solar power, energy efficiency, batteries, nuclear power, and wind power
America is addicted to fossil fuels. America can hold the lead by ending its’ dependence on imported oil beginning with utilizing current technology and infrastructure.

Falling Behind?While the U.S. has been at a stand-still in developing nuclear power in the last 30 years, other countries are forging ahead.
http://webb.senate.gov/issuesandlegislation/Clean_Energy_Act_2009.cfm
France – with the lowest electric rates in Europe - now gets 80% of its electricity from nuclear power.
Japan’s nuclear fleet accounts for 35% of its electricity.
And January 2010 the United Kingdom announced plans to expand its reactor fleet.

environmental quality
What is a green-collar job?Green-collar jobs are well-paid, career track jobs
that contribute directly to preserving or enhancing environmental quality. If a job improves the environment, but doesn’t provide a family-supporting wage or a career ladder to move low-income workers into higher-skilled occupations, it is not a green-collar job.
