Former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg unveiled a plan to pour more than $1 trillion into creating millions of jobs and updating U.S. infrastructure with an eye toward fending off the effects of climate change.

The 17-page plan calls for working with states, cities and local governments to build sustainable infrastructure that also builds "opportunity, equity, and empowerment."

The proposal promises to create 6 million jobs with "strong labor protections;" ensure access to clean drinking water while lowering water bills across the U.S. and protecting against lead in paint and water; repair roads and bridges in poor condition by 2030; and invest in sustainable infrastructure that enables 50 percent of the country to grow over the next 10 years.

Buttigieg’s plan says it would prioritize connecting people with jobs and resources. He would double the Transportation Department's BUILD grant program, which funds a wide variety of infrastructure projects, to $2 billion a year.
