SUMMARY

In this episode of the Carbon Connection, we explore how every job is a climate job. Host Jason Rissman and his guest, founding director of Drawdown Labs, Jamie Beck Alexander take us on a deep dive into how every employee, no matter what their job, can help drive change in their companies  

Since climate change affects every aspect of our lives, and every corner of the economy we can all contribute to the solutions. But you don’t have to join a climate NGO, you can have influence no matter what job you have. 

According to Beck Alexander, you have to “recognize the influence you have no matter your role, industry, or the level you’re at in your organization. You can be part of what’s driving change: a movement of committed employees who help their companies do more to address climate change.” 

This episode is full of actionable steps everyone can take to help their workplace become leaders in climate change action and awareness. One of the resources discussed is The Climate Solutions at Work Guide. This helpful tool was developed by Jamie Beck Alexander, to give employees support in helping their companies reach “beyond net zero.” 

For every employee wanting to do more, this episode is for you.
