Invested In Climate Every job is a climate job with Project Drawdown, Ep #37
So far in 2023, we've been looking to the future. Our first episode featured new opportunities with Google, CSAA and IDEO. Then, we did an episode focusing on regenerative agriculture, and another on transforming the global food system.
This week, we'll look to the past and replay one of our first and most popular episodes ever. The episode features Jamie Beck Alexander of Drawdown Labs, a program of Project Drawdown. I thought it's worth replaying as it helps explain the idea that any job can be a climate job, and highlights some really useful tips for creating climate impact through your work no matter what you do.
This episode is for everyone - and it's a reminder that you don't need to switch jobs or start a new company to be part of today's climate movement. Here we go.
