Sustainability Defined

Atypical Ep. 11: The Green Skills Gap (ft. Leafr)


Listen Later

In the hot seat this week - Nick Valenzia, Co-Founder of Leafr. We sat down with Nick to understand the "Green Skills Gap" and what that means in an economy where getting a job in sustainability feels so difficult. How is AI influencing the green jobs market? How is the lack of specialized sustainability professionals holding back global climate goals? What do professionals need to be aware of in order to succeed? What is this gap? Nethra and Cecilia also explore how Leafr is building the world's largest network of independent sustainability specialists and curating the only rated database of sustainability tools and resources. Nick shares insights on what companies really need to make progress, how Leafr is changing the game for overburdened sustainability teams, and why accessibility and quality assurance are key to scaling impact.

This episode is brought to you by Leafr. As a thank you to our Definers, they are offering free consultations until November 30th, 2025. Book time here: https://calendly.com/nick-leafr/leafr-user-interview
