AI Summary
This bill establishes the Climate Resilience Workforce Act, which aims to create a climate resilience workforce and support national, state, tribal, local, and community climate resilience action planning. Key provisions include creating an Office of Climate Resilience, a Climate Resilience Equity Advisory Board, and a Center for the Climate Resilience Workforce to coordinate federal efforts, define climate resilience sectors, and conduct research on the climate resilience workforce. The bill also provides grants for climate resilience planning, job creation, workforce development training, and disaster recovery worker support. It sets minimum labor standards for climate resilience workers and creates a Good Climate Resilience Jobs Grant program to incentivize entities receiving federal disaster funds to meet these labor standards. The bill also seeks to remove barriers to employment for populations facing barriers, such as immigrants, the formerly incarcerated, and those with criminal records.
