Overview
Green Climate Finance Illinois (GCFI), a project of the Climate Jobs National Resource Center, will help implement environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards within pension funds and align fund investments with the Paris Climate goals. This work covers eleven cities, seven states, and three funds. Outputs include the implementation of an annual carbon disclosure impact analysis and a companion investment scorecard; the codification of an investment strategy with the investment consultants to incorporate ESG, including climate change; a resolution to use ESG and climate principles in asset manager selection; and a pathway to scale nationally and internationally.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
Climate Jobs National Resource Center educates workers and the public about policies that will build a clean energy economy at the scale climate science demands, create good jobs, and result in more equitable communities. Supporting state-based, labor-led coalitions is the foundation of the center’s work to win policies that improve people’s lives and address inequality and climate change at the same time. In addition to these state-led coalitions, the center coordinates national technology or sector-specific campaigns across states that have strong potential for long-term career opportunities, such as offshore wind and clean buildings.
