Keep Your Current Job - and Become a Climate "Intrapreneur"
What’s a climate intrapreneur, and how can you be one? Climate expert Digby Hall explains how you can shift the needle on climate from within your current workplace to make a real difference. His advice?
- Start a group chat to connect with like-minded colleagues
- Identify and ally with climate-conscious decision-makers
- Build a business case demonstrating a tangible, evidence-backed return for the business
- Don’t lead with climate; focus on business risks to engage leadership (such as infrastructure, greenwashing and loss of great staff)

- Set achievable, step-by-step targets
