Climate Innovation
Information and innovation to prepare workers, employers, and sectors for climate resiliency.
The climate crisis presents challenges and opportunities across society. Corporations are struggling to prepare their organizations and the jobs within them to withstand the shifting landscape; meanwhile, workers who are most vulnerable to climate change are left out of the conversation.
The Climate Innovation incubated practice at JFFLabs takes an inclusive approach to inform, educate, and upskill individuals for climate-resilient jobs through innovation and collaboration across sectors, regions, new business models, and capital investments.
