Climate and health jobs

Medical is the pathway where climate meets human health. It covers public health work on heat, wildfire smoke, air quality, and vector-borne disease, alongside the sustainability and decarbonization work happening inside hospitals and health systems.

Health departments, hospital systems, research institutions, and community health organizations hire here. Health care is a significant emitter in its own right, so hospital sustainability and supply chain roles have grown alongside the more familiar public health positions.
