we're starting by looking at key policies included in Biden's climate plan: https://joebiden.com/clean-energy/. The plan involves investing $2 trillion and is said to create 10 million jobs. The key policies in his climate plan include:

• Infrastructure: rebuilding and modernizing outdated infrastructure
• Auto industry: creating 1 million new jobs in the American auto industry, domestic auto supply chains, and auto infrastructure; adding 500,000 public EV charging stations by 2030
• Transit: provide every American city with 100,000 or more residents with high-quality, zero-emissions public transportation options through flexible federal investments with strong labor protections; improving existing transit and bus lines; installing infrastructure for pedestrians and bicyclists
• Power sector: move towards clean, American-made electricity; spending $400 billion annually on clean energy R&D; doubling offshore wind production by 2035
• Building energy efficiency: make dramatic investments in energy efficiency in buildings, including completing 4 million retrofits and building 1.5 million new affordable homes
• Agriculture and Conservation: create jobs in climate-smart agriculture, resilience, and conservation, including 250,000 jobs plugging abandoned oil and natural gas wells and reclaiming abandoned coal, hardrock, and uranium mines

"The clean energy economy must represent the diversity of America. We will invest in the education and training of underrepresented groups, including people of color, low-income Americans, women, veterans, people with disabilities, and unemployed energy workers for jobs in clean energy-related industries." is quite a useful quote from the Biden-Sanders Unity taskforce which had the $2trn proposal https://joebiden.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/UNITY-TASK-FORCE-RECOMMENDATIONS.pdf
