We have worked tirelessly to ensure that the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) lives up to its name. CEJA, one of the nation’s most comprehensive and equitable energy and climate laws, will help Illinois meet our renewable energy goal of 40% by 2030 and reduce health-harming and planet-warming pollution from our energy and transportation sectors.

Illinois has begun implementing CEJA’s many programs, and PRN is leading the work inside the Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition, coordinating a dozen different working groups to achieve the high aims of CEJA. We are ensuring that communities understand and benefit from CEJA’s opportunities including solar, energy efficiency, and electric vehicles. We are supporting real people and real communities in the transition to a clean energy future in Illinois.

Using the creative power of science, law, and collective action, we protect and restore our rivers, return healthy soils and diverse wildlife to our lands, and transform how we care for the earth and for each other.
