Climatetech is one of the fastest-growing job sectors in the U.S., and it will grow its ranks even more with a massive boost from the Inflation Reduction Act. The act is expected to create an estimated 9 million jobs in clean energy and climate-related fields over the coming decade. But lack of gender diversity continues to be a problem for the industry — in 2021, only 30 percent of people working in wind and solar were women, compared to 47 percent of the national workforce.
So how can the climatetech sector ensure gender parity and diversity as it grows? What are the most exciting roles in the industry, and how can you get your foot in the door?
