The city of Boston is launching a new green jobs initiative to support an equitable recovery as we continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has exacerbated existing inequalities in our society. While we recover, we aim to focus on the needs of the most vulnerable residents and the most economically vulnerable industries. An equitable recovery also means taking steps now to reduce the likelihood and impact of future climate shocks and public health crises through wealth accumulation and economic mobility of residents.
Mayor Janey’s operating budget for fiscal 2022 includes $ 1 million in green jobs and $ 3 million in federal recovery funds. We are committed to educating and developing career paths for residents in the green jobs of the future to support an equitable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
As we accelerate green job initiatives in the coming years, we invite you to respond to this information request with your ideas for training and hiring green jobs in Boston. A request for information enables the city to research new ideas without tying up resources for a specific concept. The responses will inform conversations and programs on how the city can help accelerate the green economy in service of the mayor’s climate justice goals. The request for information can be found at bit.ly/boston-green-jobs-rfi.
The deadline for submitting a response is August 18, 2021. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Katherine Eshel, Assistant Director of Climate and Environmental Planning, at katherine.eshel@boston.gov. “
Boston’s city officials have managed to cram just three paragraphs with a variety of lively words, phrases, and social justice struggles. In doing so, they show that they are helplessly hoping (hats off to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, https://youtu.be/gosRHLxbXZw) to find out what a “green job” really is.
Your request for information is in a nutshell: “Someone, please tell us what is a green job?” has studied correct “subjects (https://www.boston.gov/departments/environment/ kat-eshel).
I have been an environmental expert for over 40 years and have yet to figure out what a “green” job is, unless it’s guaranteed to lose money and fail, or if it’s kept afloat by other people’s money. Jobs are jobs. They have no color. Either they are productive or they are a burden. If you have any ideas, you can help the poor, bright Bostonians through the RFI link shown above.
