Biden launches American Climate Corps to train 20,000 young people for green jobs

President Biden is using executive authority to launch a federal program called the American Climate Corps.
The program aims to train over 20,000 young Americans in skills related to conservation, clean energy, climate resilience, and environmental justice.
Participants will work on projects like restoring wetlands and forests, deploying renewable energy, and implementing energy efficiency.
The initiative is modeled after the New Deal's Civilian Conservation Corps and aims to create career pathways in the clean economy.
Recruitment will be done through a website and supported by multiple government agencies, though funding details are still unclear.
