Our Plan
With working people leading the way, we can tackle New Jersey’s energy crisis and set our state on the path to a stronger, affordable and brighter future.
Our 2026 Priorities
This year, Climate Jobs New Jersey is advocating for:
- Launch a statewide solar and storage program to quickly deploy vast amounts of rooftop solar and battery storage so New Jersey can meet rising energy demand with in-state resources and do so in a way that creates new union jobs.
- Take back control of our energy system by putting the state in charge of planning and purchasing energy, allowing New Jersey to actually plan for our energy needs by spurring in-state clean energy generation, and guaranteeing that workers benefit from every new project.
Our Long-term Roadmap
In collaboration with New Jersey unions, researchers at Cornell University’s Climate Jobs Institute published a report outlining a bold, multi-sectoral, and science-backed plan to tackle climate change and inequality. The plan includes a suite of policy recommendations aimed at delivering clean energy and reducing emissions while creating high-quality union jobs and driving affordability for New Jersey residents in the face of historic energy price increases.
