When I shifted my career to #workonclimate, climate podcasts helped get me informed and up to speed.

Over the last year, I’ve noticed #podcasts on #climatechange have really stepped up their game.

Here are 10 excellent, recent climate episodes you should listen to now.👇🏽🧵
1/ The aviation sector is one of the hardest to decarbonize.

@CatalystPod with @shaylekann gets into the weeds with @rutherdan on the complexities and options for decarbonizing aviation. From SAFs to electric propulsion, this one is a must listen!

2/ I’m hearing more about the risks of natural gas in the home. One more reason to consider switching.

The crew at @EnergyvsClimate covers the topic for us on one of their recent episodes with @brucenilles.

3/ #ReFi, #DeFi, #Web3, and carbon markets - what the hell is going on here?

@jjacobs22 breaks it down with @ToucanProtocol founders to shed light on #Web3 and their initiative on the @mcjpod startup series.

4/ Not sure about the whole #Web3 x climate thing? Same here.

The @nori team has some salient views on @KlimaDAO and other #Web3 efforts interfacing with traditional carbon markets on their Reversing Climate Change podcast.

5/ Policy is the single most important lever in addressing climate change.

@sktalati at @ENERGY speaks about carbon management, #carbonremoval, and the role of gov't on getting to #netzero on the @mcjpod.

6/ Geo-engineering and solar radiation management (SRM) are spicy topics at the moment.

An older episode, but @ezraklein expertly navigates this thorny topic with @ElizKolbert (author of "Under a White Sky").

7/ A tech legend has a roadmap for solving climate change and this time it's not @BillGates.

Tim Ferriss interviews investor @johndoerr on his new book Speed and Scale: An Action Plan for Solving Our Climate Crisis Now.

8/ I love a good win-win strategy.

@leahstokes and @DrKWilkinson give us a win-win-win with coal debt securitization in their episode with Ashok Gupta (NRDC) and @JAKlindt on the excellent @degreespod.

9/ I don't know about you, but I hate greenwashing.

If you're like me, here's an episode that's sure to get you worked up (and intrigued) on addressing oil company greenwashing from the @how2saveaplanet podcast.

10/ Because I can't resist a shameless plug

Here's an episode I did on @nori's Carbon Removal Newsroom on emerging #directaircapture (DAC) companies to get excited about (based on a recent Carbon Curve post) and then a whole thing on carbon markets.

New year, new ... climate job?

Carbon removal (CDR) is one of the most exciting fields to #workonclimate. It's full of passionate + motivated ppl taking on the huge task of removing billions of tons of CO2 from the air.

Here are 10 CDR companies that could use your talent! 👇🏽
1/ Policy 🇺🇸

@carbon_180 advances policies to help scale up CDR. Help them strategize and supercharge performance across all teams as Chief of Staff. carbon180.org/jobs
2/ Policy 🇪🇺

If you’d rather work on the other side of the Atlantic, recently launched @CarbonGap is looking for leaders to help them explore CDR policy change in Europe! carbongap.org

2 years ago, working in global health, I was struggling to find a way to transition my career to climate change.

Since then, I've worked on 10+ climate projects with NGOs and startups. For people looking to break into #climate - here are some strategies that helped me. 👇👇
1/ Figure out your "why".

Yes, climate change is a big, hairy problem. But it's important to understand what about it is personal / significant to you. For 10 years I lived + worked where people will experience CC's worst effects, and I want to work on addressing that injustice.
2/ Listen and learn.

Don't talk. Listen to climate scientists, activists, and entrepreneurs. Honor their contribution by learning from their experiences + reading their work.

Start here: @GretaThunberg @KenCaldeira @CarbonWrangler @KHayhoe @DrKWilkinson @hausfath @JigarShahDC
