As part of the Climate Week festivities in New York, the governors of Arizona, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Utah joined California Gov. Gavin Newsom to announce the establishment of so-called Climate Corps programs in each state.
“We can’t go it alone in tackling the climate crisis. With these five states launching their own Climate Corps, we’re making climate action a reality in communities representing millions of Americans,” Mr. Newsom said in a press release Sept. 20. “Together, we’re mobilizing and organizing citizen climate action at a scale never seen before—and now we’ll begin to see its impact across the nation.”
