The White House said the American Climate Corps will employ more than 20,000 young adults in green jobs.
Democrats and environmental advocacy groups never gave up on the plan and pushed Mr Biden in recent weeks to issue an executive order authorising what the White House now calls the American Climate Corps.
The Sunrise Movement and other climate activists, including many young adults, were outraged this spring after Mr Biden approved the huge Willow oil-drilling project in Alaska. “Young people are fighting for climate justice every day in their community, and now they have even more opportunity to continue this fight in their careers,” Ms Ramirez said.
The White House declined to say how much the programme will cost or how it will be paid for, but Democrats proposed 10 billion dollar for the climate corps in the Climate Bill before the provision was removed.
