GridUnity Proposal Included in The CLEEN Project Database of Ideas for U.S. Leaders to Combat Climate Change, Advance Climate Justice
The Clean Economy Employment Now (“CLEEN”) Project was created through a collective of more than 200 contributors and 70 Advisory Board members from the private sector, federal and state government, environmental justice organizations, and leading climate-focused think tanks who share a desire to help catalyze job creation and a 21st century clean and just economy.
The CLEEN Project today announced the launch of our nation’s first co-operative database of actionable ideas to combat climate change, Build Back Better, and advance climate justice. Designed specifically for federal leaders, the database is searchable by the Biden-Harris administration’s “Build Back Better” industry verticals, governmental authority, and specific types of governmental action, such as public-private partnerships, procurement, tax credits, and White House-led initiatives.
“Federal climate leaders now have access to a first-of-a-kind database of concrete, actionable policies to rapidly ‘Build Back Better.’ Many of Clean Energy for Biden’s 13,000 volunteers contributed to The CLEEN Project to build this inclusive and robust database for tackling carbon pollution while supporting a clean economy.”

The GridUnity proposal to “Develop electric vehicle charging stations in rural & disadvantaged neighborhoods to ensure equitable access, revitalize public transportation and create jobs” was vetted by over 70 climate and energy leaders and selected as one of 180 projects shared with the U.S. federal government.
“There now exists a common home for climate solutions that dramatically eases idea discovery and sharing by federal leaders and helps amplify the great work of climate-focused think tanks, environmental justice organizations, private sector actors, and policy experts. This new and inclusive home is the result of the commitment and enthusiasm of hundreds of climate leaders and experts who want to help the Biden-Harris Administration tackle some of our nation’s most pressing problems.”
