Wishing you could make a larger impact on the climate, but aren’t ready to launch your own climate startup? Then consider making a mid-career transition into the green economy.

Green jobs are about to explode as so much more needs to be done to help us fight the climate crisis. And instead of just listening to podcasts, or consuming content on the climate crisis, start making the work that you do on a daily basis go towards fighting the climate crisis.

The world needs your help, and no matter what type of skill you have, there is a spot for you in the exploding fields of fighting the climate crisis.

It just about shifting your mindset, and justifying that it is much more sustainable for you and you can have a much larger impact by transitioning into the green economy.

So listen to this full interview to hear from a climate career coach, Joseph Gelfer from Ecotopian Careers, exactly what you need to do to make the transition into a dream green job.
