Hi there! Welcome to Ed’s Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List, where we know climate change is caused by burning fossil fuels such as gasoline, coal, oil, and fossil gas (“natural” gas), and that burning fossil gas in our homes makes us sick. 

There are 77 jobs and internships in the full version of the newsletter this week.

Access to jobs that require less than five years experience or that are located outside of the U.S. are and will remain free. There are individual subscriptions ($7/month or $70/year) available as well as career center subscriptions ($300/year). College student? Please ask your career center to sign up for a paid subscription, especially if they pointed you here. Odds are they have not subscribed.

Want to support the jobs list, but can’t swing a subscription? I started an affiliate bookshop on Bookshop.org that will send me a small affiliate bonus if you purchase books using this link (https://bookshop.org/shop/EdsCleanJobs). I also included a selection of books that I’ve enjoyed that address climate change and climate solutions. You can also send me a one-time payment/tip using this link.

What I'm reading this week: 

U.S. Climate Politics Almanac: 2025 State Elections: Virginia, New Jersey, and Georgia (Brad Johnson, Hill Heat)

Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:

Climate Disaster Survivors in the Global South Take Legal Action Against European Carbon Majors (Dana Drugmand, Inside Climate News)

Environmental Defense Fund Climate Corps Fellows Summer 2026. Multiple U.S. locations. https://business.edf.org/climate-corps/fellows/us/. Graduate students. $1,400+ per week. 

My EDF Climate Corps Fellowship was a foundational step in my career. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing I think this program is. If you are a grad student, I strongly encourage you to check it out. Closes December 22, 2025.

Earthjustice has 10 associate and senior attorney positions open in various locations in the U.S. https://earthjustice.org/about/jobs
