Summary

This Issue Brief describes why in order to ensure that climate change solutions do not perpetuate injustice, policy design must be attentive to the connections between climate change and care work. Investment in high-quality jobs in the care sectors of our economy — childcare, residential care, and home healthcare, among others — is necessary for equitable access to the job opportunities in the clean energy sector, as a source of employment for those transitioning from the fossil fuel sectors, as green jobs themselves, and as a means to mitigate the inequities occurring as climate disasters hurt communities across the United States.
