...public support elsewhere has kept green employment from taking off. Still, the promise is real. A study by the Cleantech Network, which tracks green investment, found that for every $100 million in green venture capital, 250,000 new jobs could be created. To speed that transition, Jones and Majora Carter of the Sustainable South Bronx in New York City recently launched Green for All, a campaign to secure $1 billion in government funding to train a quarter-million workers in green fields.

Immediately after that, Deng Xiaoping, who was the premier of China, asked if the Carter Center would help him in the democratization of these little villages-there are about 650,000 of them and they are not part of the Communist party structure. So he and subsequent governments have ordained that those villages can have a democratic election. The Carter Center has had a contract with the government of China now for roughly 10 years to monitor the compliance...
