When President Obama rejected the Keystone XL pipeline on Friday he noted that it would not have made a meaningful contribution to our economy and emphasized<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/11/06/full-text-president-obamas-remarks-on-the-keystone-xl-pipeline/> that we can combat climate change "while creating new jobs, while growing our economy, while saving money, while helping consumers, and most of all, leaving our kids a cleaner, safer planet at the same time."

Today NextGen Climate America released a report from ICF International showing just how many jobs, and just how much economic growth we can create by making the necessary transition to a clean energy economy. This is the most detailed, comprehensive, and rigorous analysis of its kind completed to date. My blog post summarizing the findings is here:

The Summary of Findings and detailed results are available here:

In other news, NextGen Climate America and the Alliance for Climate Education are announcing today a partnership to launch an online climate education resource called Our Climate. Our Future. Our goal is to reach 1 million high-school aged youth by the end of 2016 and encourage and empower all of them to take action on climate.

We are announcing this partnership today at the Forum on Digital Media for STEM Learning: Climate Education<https://stemdigitalmedia.wordpress.com/> at WGBH in Boston.
