Climate policy and environmental justice jobs

Policy and social justice covers the rules that shape the climate economy and the communities those rules land on first. It spans legislative and regulatory work, advocacy and lobbying, community organizing, and the environmental justice work addressing who carries the cost of pollution and who gets the benefit of the transition.

Government agencies at every level, advocacy organizations, legal nonprofits, community groups, and corporate government affairs teams hire across this pathway. Organizing and community-facing roles sit alongside technical regulatory work, and they call for genuinely different strengths.
