On March 13-14, a conference unlike any other will take place in Pittsburgh, PA at the Westin Convention Center and the David L. Lawrence Covention Center. The event will launch a nationwide dialogue about moving our country rapidly toward leadership in promoting the benefits of a new green economy. Good Jobs, Green Jobs: A National Green Jobs Conference will bring together advocates representing local, state and federal policy makers; labor; business; the environment and public health; economic and workforce development specialists; investors; and scientists and technology experts.
We envision a confluence of big ideas and innovative strategies to help jump-start a nationwide green economic renaissance. Participants will share best practices about how we can revitalize our manufacturing sector, drive green building, promote safer chemicals, and realize the economic benefits of global warming solutions.
With your help and participation, we can work together to share the best thinking about the link between economic opportunities and environmental solutions. Join us.
