🌍 “Every job is a climate job: Bridging the gap between intention and action in the green economy.” This week on the Green Jobs Media Series, I spoke with the Center for Climate and Business Solutions and UBC Sauder School of Business’s Kookai Chaimahawong about what it takes to make meaningful progress in sustainability. Kookai underscores the critical need to close the intention-action gap—where big climate ambitions fall short in execution. She also highlights how addressing transition risks can position individuals and businesses as leaders in a rapidly evolving economy. 💡 Her advice for young professionals? Treat your career as a platform to drive change. Seek roles that align with your values and embrace the mindset that “Every job is a climate job.” Whether you’re in accounting, marketing, or operations, there’s an opportunity to integrate climate action into your work. 🎧 In this episode, we also discuss how businesses can frame climate solutions as strategic opportunities, not just risks, and why interdisciplinary collaboration is key to building resilient systems. 👉 Given the gaps in climate philanthropy, can we look at business solutions and their scalability to partner with youth climate movements? Share your perspectives in the comments!
