New York State officials are marking Climate Week in New York today by announcing a climate change jobs-related initiative.

Hochul and a bipartisan coalition of 23 other governors, are working together to improve and expand pathways into a wide variety of climate-ready jobs that are "critical to building a clean, equitable, and resilient net-zero future", according to Hochul's office.
