Climate literacy tools for government staff and policymakers

Problem areaSkills gap

We don't have the people to build what's needed

12/13

The climate transition requires millions of new jobs — from solar installers to battery engineers to climate-smart architects. But we're facing a massive skills gap. There aren't enough trained workers to build renewable energy systems, retrofit buildings, or maintain new infrastructure. Meanwhile, fossil fuel workers are losing jobs faster than clean alternatives appear, and most professionals making climate-relevant decisions lack the knowledge to make good ones.

This isn't just about having enough people — it's about having people with the right skills in the right places at the right time. Without solving this, the hardware and software solutions we're building will sit unused, and the transition will stall.

Problem

Most professionals make climate-relevant decisions without the skills to make good ones

4/4

Architects design buildings, engineers plan infrastructure, financiers allocate capital, and policymakers write regulations — all with massive climate implications. But most of these professionals lack the climate knowledge to make informed decisions.

This means we're building inefficient buildings, funding the wrong projects, and creating policies that don't work. The climate impact of these everyday professional decisions is enormous, but the people making them often don't have the tools to do better.
