Overview
The Climate Talent Initiative (CTI) is an innovative new set of programs designed to meet urgent talent needs within the climate change sector, with a focus on the energy transition. Codesigned in partnership with Growald Climate Fund, this is the first climate program housed within IREX.
Climate change is the most critical issue facing humanity today. To ensure a habitable planet, we must urgently and strategically invest in climate change strategies, including moving the global power sector away from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Civil society organizations are doing crucially important work to address climate change. However, these organizations are currently experiencing talent and leadership gaps that prevent them from meeting the moment and achieving their transformative potential.
CTI supports organizations and individuals promoting the climate change movement around the world by bringing new talent into the field and fostering existing talent therein. In doing so, the program equips organizations to accelerate and scale their work and creates pathways to enter and advance within the climate change ecosystem.
