Building a Climate Movement Through Work with Eugene Kirpichov

Here are three things you’ll learn in this episode:

Why your professional skills—not just personal habits—can make a massive difference in solving climate change.
Eugene explains that climate solutions are built by people in every industry, from software and manufacturing to healthcare and energy. While recycling and calling representatives are helpful, real systemic change comes when professionals apply their expertise directly to building solutions.

How Work on Climate helps people shift careers, build community, and step into climate leadership.
Through programs like expert office hours, peer mentorship, and workplace climate leadership initiatives, Work on Climate guides professionals to see where their skills fit, connect with others, and gain the confidence to lead change within their companies and industries.

The vision for scaling bottom-up, industry-wide transformations over the next five years.
Eugene shares the organization’s long-term goal: creating a distributed movement of professionals who can coordinate across cities and industries. By empowering people to work together—such as tackling food waste across an entire supply chain—Work on Climate hopes to spark systemic shifts that no single company or policy could achieve alone.
