Mainstream Media Coverage for Green Collar Jobs

A previous post noted one connection between inflation, poverty and climate policy: increasing disparities between the those with very low-incomes and everyone else have contributed to higher inflation faced by the poor, making them even worse-off economically, while a need for workers in the "green collar jobs" field grows. Time magazine has a nice piece spotlighting activist Van Jones's efforts to push for greater investment in this field (HT: David Pope). I particularly appreciate how Van and the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights frames this and other opportunity-creation strategies as human rights issues, something lacking in the American discourse on human rights, which is almost entirely focused on civil and political rights.
