Climate Jobs Institute

The Climate Jobs Institute informs the Illinois clean energy transition through research that foregrounds workers and their communities. We guide state climate policy to reduce emissions and promote high-quality job creation by:

  • Generating reports, tools, and resources;
  • Engaging labor, industry, communities, and policy makers;
  • Mentoring student researchers; and
  • Fostering applied research collaborations.

Through research rooted in climate and economic justice, we envision a clean energy future where workers and communities prosper.
