Careers in climate / sustainability

Hi folks - I was wondering if people here might know of companies that are doing good stuff in sustainability / climate tech etc. I don't have any experience here but I do feel that's one of the key problems facing humanity and I'm thinking I might feel happier if I feel my work is actually meaningful lol. Open to using my free time to study / upskill in this area. I have looked up Terra.do as well but their flagship course is too expensive and I'm not sure how useful it is. (Currently in a strat ops role) So does anyone have suggestions on companies / courses that can help?

Data scientist - To improve power management by doing generation and distribution forecasting based on climate change for short and long term. (Like ETRM/CTRM) Companies- Tesla forecasting, Bidgely, Reconnect, Polyplex hydro, S&P global, Public Sapient etc. (Not including one who work on installation part as they earn very less in india)

There are more companies working in this field. You need to search by key words like - REC, IREC, Carbon offset, Carbon footprints, Carbon credits, Recycling, Restoration, Climate change, weather forecasting, ESG, sustainability, Solar wind hydro, corporate footprints etc.

Join communities such as Work on Climate and My Climate Journey. Lots of events happen, some are Expert Hours, Jobseeker Coffee Hour, people are really helpful, especially in WoC. Do check out OpenDoorClimate as well. Folks working in climate tech who simply volunteer to help others break into such roles in that program. Other resources are ClimateBase and ClimateDraft for job boards. To stay on top of the new, happenings, I subscribe to the Climate Tech VC newsletter.
