Lindsay Greene, president and CEO of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, emphasized the urgent need to prepare New Yorkers for the green industries, stating, "It is one of the most pressing challenges of our time." This statement underscores the critical importance of developing a skilled workforce ready for the emerging green economy.
Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development and Workforce, Maria Torres-Springer, highlighted the city's commitment in her keynote address, remarking, "When the city released the Green Economy Action Plan in February, we committed to building our green collar workforce to 400,000 employees by 2040 to ensure New Yorkers are connected to family-sustaining jobs through the industries that help to combat climate change." This outlines a clear goal for workforce development in sustainability.
