  • Evan Hynes wanted to work in climatech (climate technology), but job search sites did not produce many opportunities; so, along with his co-founder and CTO Justin Hardin, they started their own database of jobs working in climate called Climate Base.
  • Today, more than 700,000 people have used Climate Base to hunt for work in climate technology.
  • There has been a lot of venture capital funding going to climate over the last few years, as companies recognise that in order to execute their solutions, they still require good talent.
  • There is going to be more of a need for people who are not working at climate organisations to gain climate literacy so that their organisations can navigate climate change.
