As we emerge from recession and rebuild our economy, we believe this is a moment of tremendous opportunity. Now more than ever, organizations committed to sustainability and the future of America’s middle class can work alongside community and business leaders to shape the 21st century economy. Across the country, a network of elected leaders, community officials, innovators and entrepreneurs has emerged to tap the economic potential of emerging clean energy projects.
The Clean Economy Development Center educates the public, the media, and other stakeholders about viable models for clean economic development. This approach helps to empower regional stakeholders to develop environmentally responsible, community-scale projects that spark innovation and accelerate job creation.
With the help of national and regional stakeholders, we identify and highlight innovative models and programs that interested communities can then customize and implement themselves, promoting the clean economic development that lays the groundwork for future growth. By educating public officials, non-government organizations and private institutions about the opportunities to develop environmentally sustainable markets in communities around the country, our work helps to drive investment and spur economic growth.
Our mission is to help build a strong, clean economy, one project at a time.
