LA Area -Guest Author for Global Green blog on the topic of Clean Transport

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Global Green USA

The Sustainable Neighborhood Assessment (SNA) tool and program provide a framework for sustainable community improvements - particularly in disadvantaged areas or those vulnerable to climate-related disasters. To date, the participating 30 communities have leveraged Global Green’s technical assistance and recommendations to secure an estimated $280 million to fund sustainable improvements.

As a next step, we're currently seeking to promote the connection between clean transport and workforce and economic development on both these projects and in building awareness more broadly. We're seeking help from a professional in the areas of journalism, research and/or civil engineering to write a guest blog post on emerging trends at the *neighborhood* level where cities and neighborhoods can more actively and better plan this connection between clean transport and workforce development - particularly for low and moderate income communities. The focus of this blog will be on what is happening in terms of both action and policy in California. As this volunteer opportunity requires both research and communications, it is relatively intensive. Its ideal for those who want to learn more about the topic, share their expertise and/or develop their expertise more broadly related to sustainability.

Mission Statement

Global Green USA is the American affiliate of Green Cross International. For 25 years, Global Green USA has been a national leader in advancing smart solutions to climate change that improve lives and protect our planet. We create transformative model projects and advance new policies that build sustainable and resilient communities and affordable housing. We help local governments, schools, and public agencies integrate sustainable design, clean energy, and water reduction measures and we help people reduce waste, live better, and act more sustainably today--and in the future.

Description

Global Green has influenced more than $20 billion dollars worth of building construction by encouraging the integration of green building and sustainability practices, and we’ve educated millions of people about climate-friendly solutions through our five annual events, including the green event of the year, our Pre-Oscar Party. Our impact has been felt across the country, particularly in areas affected by disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans where we led green rebuilding efforts and continue to provide assistance and resources to local residents.
