In this episode of the Climate Careers Podcast, powered by Voiz Academy, we’re joined by two leaders at the forefront of AI and sustainability: Chris Bolman, founder of Brightest, and Diego Espinosa, co-founder and CEO of Voiz Academy.
Chris leads Brightest’s work on AI-enabled sustainability data, reporting, and disclosure automation. Diego brings deep expertise across edtech, software, and agentic AI—guiding Voiz Academy’s AI skills app and agent-building platform.
Together, we unpack what it truly means when we say “the future of sustainability is agentic.”

Why sustainability teams can unlock 10× more output with AI-driven workflows
The new skill set emerging for sustainability professionals (and why orchestration + quality control are becoming essential)
What companies are actually looking for as AI-specific roles start appearing across climate teams
How professionals can prepare, stand out, and lead through this transition—whether they’re already in sustainability or pivoting into the field
How organizations can balance innovation, risk, data governance, and culture in this next era of sustainability work
