Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Tuesday unveiled a proposal to invest $2 trillion in federal funding in clean energy programs as part of a Green New Deal aimed at confronting global climate change, according to her campaign.

Under the umbrella of a Green New Deal, Warren is pitching a “Green Apollo Program” to invest in clean energy technology and a “Green Marshall Plan” devoted to encouraging countries to buy U.S.-made clean energy technologies, according to The Washington Post.

Warren also said she would aim to replace the Commerce Department with a “Department of Economic Development” to oversee a new national jobs strategy as part of a new “economic patriotism,” also as part of the Green New Deal.

“With big and bold investments in American research, American industry, and American workers, we can lead the global effort to combat climate change — and create more than a million good jobs here at home,” Warren said in a Medium post released Tuesday.

The plan comes amid fierce competition among the 2020 presidential candidates about how best to confront climate change.
