Ben Jealous – A Green Economy Lifts All Boats

The renowned civil rights and environmental leader Ben Jealous, former (youngest ever!) President of the NAACP and then of People for the American Way, and now, since 2022, Executive Director of the Sierra Club (founded in 1892, one of the very first large-scale environmental preservation organizations in the world) examines how the green economy is driving job creation and transforming industries, including renewable energy and electric vehicles.

He debunks myths that the transition will lead to job losses or take too long, instead showcasing how innovation is fueling economic growth. Jealous also highlights the health benefits tied to cleaner air and reduced pollution, including lower rates of asthma and heart disease. He underscores how the green economy is reshaping industries, improving workforce opportunities, and enhancing public health outcomes.
