Important updates regarding the new American Climate Corps program!🚨 The Biden-Harris Administration is hard at work preparing to launch the first cohort of the American Climate Corps by summer 2024. The program will provide hundreds of paid opportunities to tackle the climate crisis and advance environmental justice that we are building – from restoring watersheds and coastlines and creating urban parks and green spaces, to weatherizing homes and helping families save on their energy bills, to helping communities prepare for and recover from extreme climate disasters, and more. To gear up for a successful launch, the Biden-Harris Administration is hosting a series of virtual listening sessions to hear your ideas about how to shape this historic, groundbreaking initiative. Each listening session will last roughly 90 minutes and will feature a special guest and climate champion like Senator Ed Markey, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, White House National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi, AmeriCorps CEO Michael Smith, and more. See the link below to sign up for a listening session that is right for you! https://lnkd.in/exSGiNnf #ClimateCorpsHero #ActOnClimate #GreenJobsNow #BuildBackGreener #UnitedAgainstClimate #FLClimate #Florida #FloridaClimateCrisis #ResilientFuture

🌍 This is a great opportunity for Local Authorities and Community Energy projects as Minister Ryan Launches €27 Million Fund for Community Climate Action. This substantial funding allocation, one of the largest of its kind, is a significant step towards our commitment to climate action. If you represent a community or voluntary group interested in stepping up climate action, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We can provide guidance on the program and help you match your local action with suitable funding. You can contact us on 071 930 0025 o email info@planenergy.com Here's what you need to know about the fund: 🌱 Local Empowerment. The fund will be administered by local authorities, ensuring that solutions are tailored to the unique needs of each community. In our experience every region has its own challenges and the most effective solutions are tailored to specific locations. 🏡 Benefits for Communities. This fund is not just about climate action; it's also a community development fund. It will make our towns and villages more resilient to the impacts of climate change. By partnering with local authorities, we can empower communities to drive positive change. 🤝 Shared Island Dimension.  Importantly, this initiative includes a Shared Island Fund, enabling cross-border and all-island climate action projects. Collaboration is key to reaching our common climate targets. We have a successful track record with community energy projects throughout Ireland. We've seen firsthand how such initiatives can transform communities and contribute to a sustainable future. Now, we have an exciting opportunity to partner with local communities to access these funds and improve their sustainability. We believe that by leveraging our expertise in community energy, we can help communities achieve their climate and energy goals. Let's create low carbon communities that will benefit us now and for generations to come. Together, we can make a difference. #ClimateAction #CommunityEnergy #Sustainability #PlanEnergy #LocalAuthority
