Professionals often limit their climate tech job search to traditional VC-backed startups, overlooking the significant influence of non-traditional sectors on climate outcomes. It's crucial that we redefine what a "climate job" is. The fight against climate change demands all sectors' participation, not just 'climate companies'. Industries like commercial real estate, logistics, and waste management play instrumental roles in our sustainable future transition. Even corporations, particularly in the US, can make a greater climate impact with climate-driven individuals at their helm.
If you're looking for a climate job, think unconventionally. Don't limit yourself to climate startups. Opportunities abound where your unique skills can drive impactful change, even in non-climate core businesses. Remember, every job can be a climate job (as coined by Project Drawdown) with the right mindset. Let's redefine what it means to have a climate job and shape our desired future.
